Mamardashvili to count as 2025 transfer

Liverpool's deal to sign Giorgi Mamardashvili will count as a signing for this summer in terms of the Reds' finances — despite the deal being agreed last summer.

Mamardashvili agreed to join Liverpool in August 2024 but it was decided that he would remain with Valencia for the 2024-25 season.

Caoimhin Kelleher has been Liverpool's back-up goalkeeper to Alisson this season, but the Ireland international is expected to leave the club this summer in search of regular first-team soccer.

Liverpool viewed Mamardashvili as a signing for the future, and the club pounced last year because it did not believe that the Georgia international would be available for such a price in the future.

The Reds agreed to pay £25 million ($33 million) plus £4 million ($5 million) in possible add-ons for the 24-year-old, but the Mail Online says that Mamardashvili officially remains a Valencia player, and that last summer's agreement between the three parties was that Mamardashvili would formalize his move to Liverpool in 2025.
