“Deal On” – Fabrizio Romano Confirms Liverpool’s Latest Transfer Move 2024 news
Fabrizio Romano Confirms Liverpool’s Latest Transfer Move: Fabrizio Romano, the renowned transfer expert, has confirmed Liverpool’s intentions to sign Valencia goalkeeper Giorgio Mamardashvili for around £30 million this summer. After Martin Zubimendi rejected a £51 million move to Anfield, Liverpool fans were left disappointed. However, the Reds have shifted their focus to the 23-year-old goalkeeper, who is keen on the move.
Romano initially reported on August 12th that Liverpool was “seriously considering” a move for Mamardashvili with the plan to loan him out after the agreement. This morning, Romano provided a crucial update on the transfer saga via X, simply stating, “Mamardashvili and Liverpool, deal on. More to follow.” This suggests that the Reds are close to securing their first signing of the summer.
Do Liverpool Need Giorgio Mamardashvili?
While Liverpool’s need for another goalkeeper might not be urgent, signing Mamardashvili could prove to be a smart move. At just 23 years old, the Georgian keeper is already considered one of the most talented goalkeepers in the world. With persistent rumors about Alisson Becker potentially moving to Saudi Arabia, Liverpool might be preparing for the future. Additionally, Caoimhin Kelleher has expressed his desire for first-team football, whether at Liverpool or elsewhere.
Mamardashvili’s potential makes him a strong candidate to eventually become Liverpool’s number one goalkeeper. He has 100 senior appearances for Valencia and had an impressive performance at EURO 2024, catching the attention of top clubs worldwide. His current market value is estimated at around €45 million, making the £30 million price tag a potential bargain for Liverpool.
More on Mamardashvili
The expectation is that Mamardashvili will be loaned out once Liverpool reaches an agreement, possibly returning to Valencia. This could explain the favorable financial terms of the deal. Premier League clubs like AFC Bournemouth have also shown interest in the 23-year-old, but Liverpool appears to be leading the race.
