On Monday, Deportes Cope Valencia reported Liverpool are the best placed side to sign Valencia goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili this summer.
It was also said Atlético Madrid could consider making an approach for him if Jan Oblak were to leave them.
Another report from Cope backs that up and then provides the 23-year-old’s stance on the possibility of joining Liverpool.
The Georgia international has returned from vacation but didn’t travel with the squad to England to face Leeds United in a friendly last week.
Arne Slot’s side are said to be keen on securing his services, so he can become Alisson Becker’s successor at Anfield. The Brazilian has been linked with a move to Saudi Arabia.
It’s stated Alisson and Mamardashvili have the same agent, and this could help Liverpool to secure a deal, if the South American were to leave them.
The Merseyside club want to sign the Valencia star and he’s ‘attracted by the option’ of joining them, provided he’ll be their first-choice goalkeeper. This won’t happen if the South American is at Liverpool.
Cope say Liverpool can sign Mamardashvili and send him out on loan until Alisson leaves Anfield, that feels a rather drastic step for such a big transfer.
The English club is the ‘most committed’ team to sign the Georgian, and it needs to be seen whether they can secure his services in this window.
