Valencia are facing a change after the confirmation of a transfer that has made a lot of noise in the European market. In a move that could directly affect the future of the team, Rubén Baraja loses one of the key players who had been fundamental in recent seasons. The Valencian coach will have to readjust his scheme for next year, while Valencia continues with its objective of consolidating itself in LaLiga.
The agreement between Valencia and Liverpool is clear: the player will not leave now, he will complete the current season at Mestalla before joining the Reds in July 2025. The operation, valued at 35 million euros plus variables, represents a significant financial injection for the club. However, the loss of this player raises questions about how Valencia will cover his absence in the future.
Giorgi Mamardashvili, Liverpool's goalkeeper of the future
The name in question is that of goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili , who has earned a prominent place in the Valencia goal since his arrival. At 23 years old, Mamardashvili has shown impressive levels, which has led Liverpool to target him as the replacement for Alisson Becker. Today, the goalkeeper has passed his medical and it has been agreed that he will remain on loan at Valencia until the summer of 2025.
For Liverpool, Mamardashvili's signing is strategic, as Liverpool see him as a goalkeeper who can take on long-term responsibility. With Alisson still in his prime, the Reds have opted to secure his succession with time and patience. In the meantime, the Georgian will remain in La Liga, gaining more experience under Rubén Baraja.
A blow for Valencia, but with room to maneuver
Mamardashvili's move to Liverpool poses a challenge for Valencia, as the goalkeeper has been a key player for the team. Rubén Baraja, aware of the importance of the Georgian in his system, will now have a season to plan his replacement. Although Mamardashvili will continue to defend Valencia's colours until July 2025, his departure will leave a void that will not be easy to fill.
On the other hand, the sum of 35 million euros is a significant figure that could allow Valencia to strengthen other positions. In addition, the club has negotiated the sale clause and some variables that could increase the total value of the operation in the future. This agreement also reflects Valencia's growing ability to produce and sell players to elite teams, strengthening its image in the market.
