Right now, Liverpool has the best chance of landing a £35 million “world-class” player who had a big influence at Euro 2024. Being well-positioned, Liverpool may easily sign one of the most respected players available. The Reds have not yet finalized any deals as the new Premier League season draws near, but more activity is expected soon. It will take time for Arne Slot to lay out his plans for the team, but he is reportedly very interested in strengthening the goalie position.
With uncertainty surrounding Alisson Becker’s future, Liverpool has emerged as a key contender to sign a top-tier goalkeeper from Europe.
Liverpool is showing interest in Giorgi Mamardashvili
As reported by Deportes COPE Valencia, Liverpool is at the forefront of Premier League clubs pursuing Valencia goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili, who has been described as ‘world class’ by The Peoples Person. The 23-year-old had an outstanding Euro 2024 tournament with Georgia this summer, which has clearly caught the attention of The Reds.
While Newcastle has also expressed interest in Mamardashvili this summer, it is Liverpool that appears to be making significant efforts to secure his transfer. Additionally, La Liga powerhouse Atletico Madrid is contemplating a bid, but it remains uncertain whether they can commit £35 million while negotiating a high-profile deal for Manchester City’s Julian Alvarez. Liverpool ought to prioritize investing in a defensive midfielder instead. The team does not require a new goalkeeper, and should Alisson depart, Caoimhin Kelleher is more than capable of stepping into the role.
Rather than allocating significant resources to acquire Mamardashvili, it would be more prudent to direct those funds towards bolstering the defensive midfield position, which is an area in need of enhancement.
While Adam Wharton would be an ideal acquisition, it seems improbable this summer; therefore, they might consider making a formal offer for Atalanta’s Ederson.
