Giorgi Mamardashvili is set to bid farewell to Valencia this Sunday, when they host Athletic Bilbao in their final home game of the season.
The 24-year-old is set to complete his move to Liverpool after the season concludes on May 25.
The £29million agreement between the clubs was reached last year, with the Georgian set to provide competition for No.
He will arrive on Merseyside following a strong campaign, having kept eight clean sheets in 32 La Liga matches so far.
His performances have been instrumental in his side’s upturn in form since Carlos Corberan took over as head coach.
With two games still left to play, Mamardashvili has taken to Instagram ahead of their final home game of the season.

Although Mamardashvili has been signed to challenge Alisson for the No.
1 spot, Spanish outlet Relevo reports that the goalkeeper plans to seek a loan move to the Premier League if he cannot prove himself against the Brazilian.
However, there is belief from Liverpool goalkeeping coach Claudio Taffarel that Alisson will remain as first-choice next season.
"The club made that decision [to sign Mamardashvili], I think a year ago, a year and a bit ago," he told ESPN Brasil last month.
"This purchase of this young player, maybe a little for the future.
"But Alisson is a guy who is at a very high level.
And even at his age, with his experience, with his desire, it will be very difficult for someone to come here and replace him, right?"

Alisson, who has been subject of transfer interest from Saudi Arabia in the past, is believed to want to continue representing the Reds.
"He wants to continue living this story," Taffarel added.
"I saw that this wave of Saudi Arabia came with great opportunities, very high offers, but he always says: 'Wow, I want to continue this story, because I owe a lot to them here, and I want to continue this life here'."
