Liverpool are in hot pursuit of Georgian goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili, according to a report from Fabrizio Romano, but they will not add him to their squad this summer.
Reporting on the Here We Go podcast, Romano claims that Mamardashvili will join Bournemouth before moving to Anfield in the summer of 2025.
“Remember about Mamardashvili. This is not a deal for this summer but a deal for summer 2025 with Mamardashvili to go to Bournemouth and then to Liverpool in summer 2025,” Romano started.
He continued: “They are still working on that one. They have an agreement with Mamardashvili, they have the green light from Bournemouth to proceed.
“Now, Liverpool and Valencia are in negotiations. We know at Valencia there is Peter Lim who is really tough in negotiations, similar to Atalanta in Italy. It is always difficult to negotiate with these clubs.
“But Liverpool are in it and Mamardashvili remains an opportunity they are considering.”
Liverpool making plans for the future amid Kelleher future uncertainty
Liverpool are making plans for the future with the potential arrival of Mamardashvili in 2025.
While Alisson Becker is showing no signs of leaving Anfield any time soon, Caoimhin Kelleher has been agitating for a transfer away from the club for some time now.
At the end of May, the Irish goalkeeper admitted that he has his eyes firmly fixed on playing as a no.1 – whether at Liverpool or not.
“It would be great if that happened at Liverpool, but I’m not silly,” Kelleher told The Athletic. “I know that Ali has been the best goalkeeper in the world for years.
“I’ve had such an amazing time at Liverpool. It’s been a crazy journey for me and one that I’ve absolutely loved. I love the club, I love the fans and I have a great relationship with the players and the staff.
“Whether it’s here at Liverpool or somewhere else, I do feel the next step for me is to be a No.1.”
