Liverpool appear to be close to confirming their first signing of the Arne Slot era after a seemingly long wait.
The Reds are the only Premier League side yet to sign a player this summer but with the transfer window edging closer to slamming shut, their prayers have finally been answered.
Giorgi Mamardashvili has agreed a deal to sign for Liverpool, but the Georgian goalkeeper is set to spend the 2024-25 campaign on loan at Valencia.
The Anfield faithful may have to wait a while to watch him in action, but a picture of him in Liverpool gear has emerged on social media.

The transfer fee is believed to be in the region of £30m, with Valencia also entitled to a percentage of the fee in the case of a future sale.Liverpool planning for the future with Mamardashvili signing With Alisson Becker still at the club until 2027, the Reds are in good hands between the sticks for the foreseeable future.

The Georgian was fantastic at Euro 2024 with Georgia and is hailed as one of the best young goalkeepers in world football. He is set to spend the current season on loan at Valencia after which the Reds will re-evaluate the situation.
