Giorgi Mamardashvili is ready to make Liverpool move this summer
Liverpool FC’s search for a long-term successor to Alisson Becker has led them to Valencia goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili, with the Georgian international open to the idea of moving to Anfield. This potential transfer could have significant ramifications, not just for Liverpool but also for their Premier League rivals.
While signing a new goalkeeper might not appear to be an immediate necessity for Liverpool, the club is clearly planning for the future. Alisson, though still one of the world’s best, is now 31 years old, and Liverpool will need to consider a long-term replacement. Caoimhín Kelleher, the current backup, has been reliable but may seek regular first-team football elsewhere, making the need for a new goalkeeper even more pressing.
Mamardashvili, who has been linked with a move to Anfield, fits the profile of a potential long-term successor to Alisson. Standing at an imposing 6 ft 6, the 22-year-old has been described as ‘exceptional’ and is seen as one of Europe’s most promising young goalkeepers. According to Fabrizio Romano via Playback, the Georgian is open to joining Liverpool, even if it means being loaned out initially to gain more experience before eventually taking over as the Reds’ first-choice goalkeeper.
“Mamardashvili is also open to saying, okay, I’m going to Liverpool, I’m not going immediately, because now the goalkeeper is Allison, but maybe in the future I will be Liverpool goalkeeper. So ready to go on loan, but still being the Liverpool player. So Mamardashvili is open to that. Now depends on Liverpool. They have to decide what they want to do.”
The idea of signing Mamardashvili and loaning him out is a strategy that could benefit all parties involved. For Liverpool, it would mean securing a top talent for the future without disrupting the current goalkeeping hierarchy. Alisson would remain the undisputed number one for now, while Mamardashvili would gain valuable experience on loan, potentially at another Premier League club.
Liverpool’s pursuit of Mamardashvili could have a domino effect on other Premier League clubs. If the Reds were to secure the Georgian’s services and then loan him out, it could influence the transfer plans of other teams in need of a goalkeeper. Bournemouth have also been interested in the Georgian and sending him on loan to the Cherries is an option.
The Reds have a good relationship with Bournemouth, with Richard Hughes in particular having a history at the club. Sending Mamardashvili will give him ample Premier League experience, getting him ready for when the time comes to succeed Alisson.
