Liverpool have set their sights on Georgia's Euro 2024 sensation Giorgi Mamardashvili as new manager Arne Slot looks to bolster his goalkeeping options ahead of the new Premier League season.
The 23-year-old Valencia shot-stopper has emerged as one of the tournament's standout performers, pulling off a string of spectacular saves that propelled Georgia to their first-ever knockout stage appearance in a major competition.
Rising Star Catches Liverpool's Eye
Mamardashvili's heroics between the posts haven't gone unnoticed at Anfield, where the recruitment team are actively monitoring his situation. The Georgian international's commanding presence and remarkable shot-stopping ability have marked him as one of Europe's most promising young goalkeepers.
With Caoimhin Kelleher expected to seek regular first-team football elsewhere, Liverpool view Mamardashvili as an ideal candidate to provide genuine competition for established number one Alisson Becker.
Valencia's Valuation and Competition
Spanish club Valencia value their prized asset at around £35 million, a significant sum but one that reflects his growing reputation and potential. However, Liverpool aren't alone in their admiration, with several top European clubs also tracking the goalkeeper's progress.
Mamardashvili's current contract runs until 2027, giving Valencia strong negotiating power, but the player's outstanding Euro 2024 campaign has undoubtedly increased his market value and attractiveness to potential suitors.
What Mamardashvili Would Bring to Anfield
- Elite shot-stopping ability demonstrated consistently in La Liga and on the international stage
- Impressive physical presence at 6'6" dominating his penalty area
- Youth and potential for development at just 23 years old
- Big-game mentality proven under pressure at Euro 2024
- Distribution skills suited to Liverpool's playing style
As Liverpool continue their summer rebuild under new management, securing a goalkeeper of Mamardashvili's calibre could prove to be a strategic long-term investment, ensuring quality depth in a crucial position while planning for the future.
