Liverpool has reached an agreement to sign Giorgi Mamardashvili, the talented Georgian goalkeeper, who will join the English club for the next six seasons. However, the 23-year-old goalkeeper will not immediately join the 'Reds', but will remain on loan at Valencia CF during the 2024/2025 season, a move that has surprised many.

The agreement between Valencia and Liverpool was closed for 30 million euros plus an additional five million in variables. Additionally, Valencia secured a 10% of the player's future sale, which could represent a significant long-term benefit. Despite intense negotiations, with Valencia initially reluctant to accept an offer lower than 40 million euros, they eventually reached a midpoint that satisfies both parties.

Stays at Mestalla until the end of the season

Valencia, aware of Mamardashvili's value, considered the possibility of keeping him for one more season. This decision arose after concluding that the economic difference between the offers did not justify losing a goalkeeper who has proven to be essential for the team. Liverpool, initially planning to loan him to Bournemouth before integrating him into their squad, finally agreed to leave him at Mestalla for another year, waiving the clause that would have allowed them to recall him midway through the season.

Mamardashvili, on his part, expressed his desire to continue in Valencia, despite this decision implying a lower salary than what he would have received in the Premier League. His commitment to the club and his desire to keep growing in La Liga were key factors in this decision. Although his long-term future seems to be at Anfield, Valencia's fans will be able to enjoy his presence in goal for at least one more season.
