Liverpool ‘AGREE personal terms with Mamardashvili’ but Georgia keeper could join fellow Prem side on loan first

LIVERPOOL have agreed personal terms with goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili, according to reports.

The Georgian shot-stopper, 23, is keen to leave Valencia after two years out on loan in his home country.

But if the deal goes through, Mamardashvili will likely head back out on loan first to Bournemouth, to gain Premier League experience.

The Cherries are willing to pay the goalkeeper’s increased salary of £3.4m, which is more than what Valencia can afford at present.

Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano posted: “Liverpool have agreed personal terms with Mamardashvili.

“Bournemouth are open to signing him, then he’d become the Reds’ new goalkeeper after Alisson. Agents now in Valencia for club talks, but no agreement yet.”

Liverpool are eyeing up a long-term replacement for current No1 Alisson – who is a hero at Anfield.

For now, Alisson is expected to continue in that first-choice role for another year at least, despite interest from Saudi Arabia.

The Brazilian’s deal runs until 2027, having put pen-to-paper on a six-year extension in 2021.

Mamardashvili was one of the stars of Euro 2024, keeping a clean sheet in a 2-0 win over Portugal, after making 11 saves in a 1-1 draw with the Czech Republic.

Liverpool are weighing up the chance to sign the talented – and relatively young goalkeeper – for a fee of more than £25.7m.

The Reds are currently the only Premier League team not to add any new players to their squad since the end of the 2023-24 campaign.

Liverpool were recently snubbed by Spain international Martin Zubimendi, who opted to stay at Real Sociedad.

Liverpool will begin their new Premier League season away at Ipswich Town on Saturday.
