Reports from the Spanish media indicate that the transfer of Giorgi Mamardashvili to Liverpool is nearly finalized, with only a few details remaining to be settled. Liverpool is negotiating with Valencia over the payment terms and structure of the deal - Liverpool will pay Valencia 35 million euros for Mamardashvili. One condition of the agreement is that Giorgi will remain on loan at Valencia for one more season, until June of next year.
Liverpool aims to replace Brazilian goalkeeper Alisson Becker with Giorgi Mamardashvili, who is set to leave Liverpool in the summer of 2025.
As of the update from Transfermarkt on July 18, Giorgi Mamardashvili has become the most expensive goalkeeper in the world (alongside Diogo Costa), with a market value of 45 million euros. When Mamardashvili was acquired by Valencia in January 2022, his market value was 3 million euros. After his loan period, Valencia purchased Mamardashvili from Dinamo Tbilisi for only 850, 000 euros.
The significant increase in the Georgian goalkeeper's market value is attributed to his impressive performance at EURO 2024, where he recorded 29 saves, the highest in the tournament.
