"Liverpool paid £29.9m to bring the giant Georgian goalkeeper to Anfield. He's viewed as Liverpool's long-term successor to Alisson Becker, but the legendary Brazilian is still at the peak of his powers. As such, Mamardashvili is facing up to the prospect of a second season warming the bench next year."
"Sources explained Mamardashvili is seriously considering handing in a transfer request and could push to spend the 2026/27 season away on loan. That's not the ideal scenario for Liverpool given Caoimhin Kelleher was sold to Brentford last summer. Furthermore, Vitezslas Jaros - who had been excelling on loan at Ajax - has suffered a serious knee injury."
"The fact he was surprisingly overlooked for selection in the FA Cup clash with Brighton - a competition Liverpool usually rotate heavily in - hasn't helped matters. Mamardashvili is entering his prime years as a goalkeeper, was a guaranteed starter at Valencia, and is widely regarded as being among the world's top stoppers."
Giorgi Mamardashvili, signed by Liverpool for £29.9m as Alisson Becker's long-term successor, faces a second season on the bench. The 25-year-old Georgian goalkeeper, previously a guaranteed starter at Valencia and regarded among the world's top stoppers, is increasingly frustrated by his lack of opportunities. He was notably overlooked for the FA Cup match against Brighton, a competition where Liverpool typically rotates heavily. Mamardashvili is seriously considering submitting a transfer request and potentially seeking a loan move for the 2026/27 season. This situation is complicated for Liverpool, as backup goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher was sold to Brentford, and Vitezslas Jaros suffered a serious knee injury. Valencia, Mamardashvili's former club, is reportedly pursuing his signature for the upcoming campaign.
