Mamardashvili prefers Liverpool to loan him to Valencia rather than Bournemouth

Goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili has proposed to stay on loan at Valencia for one more season in case he is finally transferred to Liverpool, who had the option of loaning him in his first season at the club, although, in principle, to a Premier League team, according to the Georgian portal 'Geo Team'.

The goalkeeper, according to this Georgian media, would prefer to stay one more season at Valencia and not go on loan to Bournemouth, an option that he would have rejected in the last hours despite the fact that Andoni Iraola's team would have even agreed to pay an amount close to 5 million euros for the loan.

This website already interviewed, three months ago, the player, who explained that, last summer, he had been close to Bayern Munich and that Valencia had “given him a career in professional football”, for which he was grateful to the club. Thus, Valencia and Liverpool would continue with talks to sign the goalkeeper who made the most saves during the European Championship for an amount that varies between 35 and 40 million euros, although the goal of the Mestalla outfit is to have at least a fixed amount of 30 million.

Dinamo Tbilisi has, right now, 10% of a possible sale of the player after the purchase of the player by Valencia in the summer of 2021 was thus negotiated, in addition to an amount close to 750,000 euros, so Valencia want to increase the transfer fee as much as possible. In fact, the Spanish club need about 20 million euros to balance the budget of this next 2024-25, a figure that, in case of a sale of the goalkeeper in these terms, would be resolved.

Mamardashvili trained normally on Tuesday under the orders of Ruben Baraja and was a starter last Saturday against Barcelona in the first La Liga matchday.
