Fabrizio Romano’s morning Liverpool transfer update is very good news for fans | OneFootball

Fabrizio Romano now reports that Liverpool are ‘on the verge’ of completing a deal with Valencia for the signing of 23-year-old goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili.

The CaughtOffside columnist confirmed the update on X (formerly Twitter) this morning, with the Reds still need to finalise details including ‘payment terms and deal structure’.

The footballer enjoyed a remarkable 2023/24 campaign with the La Liga outfit, despite a disappointing ninth-place finish in the Spanish top-flight. He notably prevented the most goals in the league (9.7), according to valenciacf.com.

Perhaps the most intriguing aspect of this deal is that we’re more than prepared to see the Georgian international’s stay in Valencia extended beyond the season-long loan on the table.

That should, of course, be no surprise to Liverpool fans given that Alisson Becker continues to remain a key part of the first-XI – a situation we don’t see changing in the next year or so.

In that case, it more than makes sense to ensure that Mamardashvili has regular access to top-flight football (and in an environment where he feels comfortable and is the established No.1).

It seems like a deal that suits all parties involved very well!
