Incoming Georgian international pledges full commitment to Anfield as he prepares to compete with Liverpool’s No.1.
Giorgi Mamardashvili, Liverpool’s first signing under new sporting director Richard Hughes, has publicly declared that he will not be going out on loan next season and is fully committed to joining the club’s ranks for the 2025/26 campaign.
Speaking to Geo_Team, the Valencia goalkeeper, whose move to Liverpool was agreed nine months ago, affirmed:
> “I’m not considering another loan move. I will spend next season at Liverpool. I’ll go to Liverpool and give my all, just like I did at Valencia. I’ll work hard every single day. Training with Alisson will help me.”
Key Points:
24-year-old keeper will officially join Liverpool on July 1st, ready to compete with Alisson Becker.
No loan move considered, despite Alisson’s entrenched position as first-choice.
Club rates him highly, even with Caoimhin Kelleher still on the books – though the Irishman is expected to leave this summer to seek regular first-team action.
Mamardashvili is set to feature in cup matches and potentially Champions League fixtures, especially if Alisson is rotated or injured.
With Alisson approaching his mid-30s, the Georgian is viewed as a potential long-term successor.
This signals Liverpool’s commitment to building elite depth in every department and underlines that Mamardashvili is not just a backup, but a serious challenger with eyes on eventually taking the gloves full-time.
This bold step by Mamardashvili adds further intensity to Liverpool’s goalkeeping department and aligns perfectly with Arne Slot’s vision of intense internal compe
tition across the squad.
