Liverpool transfers: Fabrizio Romano confirms Giorgi Mamardashvili medical

Journalist Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that a medical is taking place for Liverpool's second signing of the Arne Slot era.

An agreement has been made between Liverpool and Valencia over a €35 million deal for goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili.

The Georgian international will remain at the Spanish club on loan before joining up with Slot's side in 2025.

According to Romano, the 23-year-old will join the reds on a six year deal with a 10 percent sell-on clause.

The goalkeeper is set to be the Alisson's successor with the Brazilian reaffirming his commitment to staying on Merseyside after being approached by clubs in Saudi Arabia.

Spanish journalist Hector Gomez said last week that the complex arrangement for Mamardashvili was underway between the two sides although certain elements such as wages needed to be smoothed over before the deal could be finalised.

With just five days to go until the transfer window closes, this will be the first senior signing that Richard Hughes has made.

Last week Liverpool secured the signing of 16-year-old wonderkid Alvin Ayman from Wolves, who joins the reds on a five-year deal, with a £2 million compensation fee agreed.

While Liverpool made contact with French defender Leny Yoro and Spanish midfielder Martin Zubimendi, no deals were ever made with Yoro going to United and Zubimendi opting to stay at his boyhood club Real Sociedad.

New sporting director Richard Hughes has a mammoth task on his hands in order to come to some resolution on the contracts of Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgil Van Dijk and Mohamed Salah.

The trio are out of contract in 2025 and are already attracting interest from other clubs.
