Liverpool’s First Signing Under Arne Slot: Meet Giorgi Mamardashvili
The wait is finally over! Arne Slot is set to make his first signing as Liverpool boss, and it’s a big one. Valencia goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili is reportedly 100% agreed to join the Reds, with a €35m package plus a sell-on clause. The 23-year-old Georgian sensation will remain on loan at Valencia for the rest of the season, but he’s expected to make the switch to Anfield next summer.
Mamardashvili’s Impressive Credentials
Mamardashvili was the star of the show for Georgia during Euro 2024, helping his country escape the group stage. He kept 13 clean sheets in 37 La Liga appearances for Valencia last season, an impressive record for a young goalkeeper. Additionally, he boasts an impressive penalty-kick saving record, having saved three out of six attempts last campaign.
What Does This Mean for Alisson?
The signing of Mamardashvili has raised questions about the future of Liverpool’s long-standing number one, Alisson. The Brazilian goalkeeper’s contract runs until 2027, but it’s possible that Mamardashvili could be groomed as his replacement. However, Alisson has recently expressed his commitment to the club, stating that he’s happy to stay as long as his contract is honored.
A New Era for Liverpool
The signing of Mamardashvili marks a new era for Liverpool, with Arne Slot putting his stamp on the team. The Norwegian coach has a reputation for developing young talent, and Mamardashvili is a prime example of his scouting expertise. With the Georgian goalkeeper on board, Liverpool fans can expect an exciting and competitive season ahead.
