Liverpool is the last club among Europe’s top five leagues to make a summer signing, but two LaLiga players could soon join them at Anfield.
The focus is currently on Real Sociedad’s Martin Zubimendi, who has a £51 million release clause. Liverpool is prepared to meet this clause and negotiating personal terms with Zubimendi is expected to be straightforward, despite Sociedad’s efforts to retain him.
Liverpool manager Arne Slot is also aiming to bring in a new goalkeeper to eventually replace Alisson. Valencia’s Giorgi Mamardashvili is a prime candidate. At 23, Mamardashvili has impressed with his performances for Valencia and Georgia at Euro 2024. Liverpool reportedly intends to sign him on a permanent basis and then loan him out for the upcoming season, indicating a long-term plan.
Fabrizio Romano has verified Liverpool’s serious interest in Mamardashvili, who is receptive to the move and willing to be initially loaned out. The next steps depend on Liverpool’s decision.
Spanish sources suggest Valencia might accept an offer of approximately £30 million for Mamardashvili. Meanwhile, Liverpool’s backup goalkeeper, Caoimhin Kelleher, could be on the move, with interest from clubs like Celtic, Nottingham Forest, and Wolves.
