Liverpool will receive HELP from Bournemouth to secure Giorgi Mamardashvili transfer

Liverpool will receive a bit of help to get their £35m Giorgi Mamardashvili transfer over the line. The deal should be secured shortly.

Liverpool are closing in on a deal for Giorgi Mamardashvili but it appears they're a little reliant on Bournemouth. That's according to journalist Hector Gomez on Twitter.

Gomez claims that Liverpool's offer of around £30m all-in was short of Valencia's valuation. However, they will use funds from Bournemouth to boost the offer up to near £35m.

That should be enough to get this one done, though there's some negotiation that needs to take place. This one is close.

Of course, Bournemouth aren't sending Liverpool money out of the goodness of their hearts. They're going to get Mamardashvili on loan for the next season and will pay shy of £5m. It's not clear what the exact amount is, but Gomez mentions in a reply that it's not quite £5m.

Liverpool close in on Mamardashvili

Reports that Liverpool wanted the Georgian goalkeeper have circulated for a couple of weeks now. They've really intensified in the last couple of days, though, with The Times claiming the interest has been stepped up.

Relovo went further than that, saying a bid had gone in. Gomez's comments certainly back that up.

This all comes after Mamardashvili rejected a transfer to Chelsea earlier in the window. The player appears to like Liverpool's plan - one that should see him eventually succeed Alisson Becker in goal.

Liverpool are hoping to get this one done quickly, avoiding a repeat of the Martin Zubimendi disaster. It seems they'll get their way (for once) as everything here is moving in a positive direction.

Of course, fans will rightly ask why Liverpool's only transfer this summer sees Richard Hughes sign someone to play for the club he left in June. It's certainly a strange situation but one that, hopefully, pays dividends down the line.
