Liverpool are reportedly gearing up for another meeting with Valencia as they continue negotiations over the potential transfer of goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili. According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, who shared the update on his official X account (formerly Twitter), the move is now largely in Liverpool’s hands, with the player eager to make the switch to Anfield.
Mamardashvili has earned significant praise for his performances in La Liga, establishing himself as one of the most promising young goalkeepers. However, with Alisson firmly established as Liverpool’s first-choice keeper, it’s unlikely that Mamardashvili would see much game time if he joined the club immediately.

This is where the prospect of a loan move comes into play. Allowing Mamardashvili to spend another season developing on loan could be a smart move for Liverpool. It would give Alisson another year as the undisputed number one, while Mamardashvili gains more experience, preparing him to eventually compete for the starting role or even succeed Alisson in the future under manager Arne Slot.
If Liverpool choose not to pursue Mamardashvili now, they risk losing the chance to sign him, as other top clubs are likely to take an interest in the Georgian international soon. By securing him now and sending him out on loan, Liverpool could ensure they remain in control of his development and future.
