Story

Liverpool FC is reportedly considering a move for Valencia goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili, with a potential transfer fee of around £35 million. The 23-year-old Georgian international is seen as a long-term investment for the club, although Liverpool currently does not require a new goalkeeper unless Caoimhin Kelleher departs. Mamardashvili's contract with Valencia runs until 2027, and he has established himself as the first-choice keeper since joining the club permanently in 2022. The young goalkeeper has made a significant impact, notably helping Georgia qualify for the Euro 2024 round of 16, including a standout performance in a 2-0 victory over Portugal. Liverpool's current situation in goal has seen Kelleher step up during the 2023-24 season, particularly after first-choice Alisson suffered a hamstring injury. Kelleher's impressive performances, especially during Liverpool's Carabao Cup campaign, have drawn attention from clubs across Europe, including Nottingham Forest. In related transfer news, Brentford has confirmed the signing of Liverpool midfielder Fabio Carvalho for £27.5 million. The 21-year-old, who joined Liverpool from Fulham for £5 million two years ago, had attracted interest from both Leicester and Southampton but is set to return to London. Carvalho has also spent time on loan at RB Leipzig and Hull during his tenure at Anfield, furthering his development in competitive environments.
