Liverpool are closing in on the signing of goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili from Valencia.
The Reds are thought to have offered an initial £25.6m (€30m) plus £4.3m (€5m) in add-ons to sign the Georgia international. It is also likely the 23-year-old will stay on loan at Valencia for the rest of the season as part of the deal.
Sky Sports News reported last week that the idea of a loan into the Premier League – potentially to Bournemouth – was part of negotiations.
However, it is believed Mamardashvili would prefer to remain at Valencia on loan.
However, Liverpool are doing due diligence on future ‘keepers for the day when the Brazilian moves on or retires.
Republic of Ireland international Caoimhin Kelleher is Liverpool’s second-choice goalkeeper behind Alisson.
Mamardashvili was one of the standout players at Euro 2024, helping Georgia reach the last 16 for the first time in their history.
