Liverpool Star Ready to Embrace £24m Atletico Madrid Move

Liverpool completed an initial £24m signing for Giorgi Mamardashvili in the summer of 2024. The Georgian goalkeeper spent the 2024/25 season on loan at Valencia before joining Liverpool at Anfield last summer.

The 25-year-old arrived hoping to fight for the No.1 shirt. He has struggled to displace Alisson Becker so far.

Current situation at Liverpool

Mamardashvili has featured mainly when Alisson is injured. Alisson, 33, had his contract extended by one year this season.

The Brazilian recently suffered a hamstring problem. He is expected to be sidelined until near the season’s end.

Atletico Madrid interest

Atletico Madrid have identified Mamardashvili as a potential target. The club’s concern over Jan Oblak’s recent injury record triggered the search.

Director of football Mateu Alemany is reported to favour the Liverpool goalkeeper. Sources say his LaLiga experience and desire for regular football are key factors.

Potential move details

Reports indicate the goalkeeper would accept a temporary switch for the 2026/27 campaign. A loan would align with Atletico’s financial strategy, according to the coverage.

Several European clubs are monitoring Mamardashvili’s situation. Any approach would come while Liverpool continue to rely on him during Alisson’s absence.

What happens next

Liverpool will keep Mamardashvili in goal in the short term. The club must balance his development with Alisson’s restored availability next season.

Outlets cited include Alex Silvestre on El Chiringuito de Jugones and Super Deporte, as relayed to Filmogaz.com. The Liverpool star appears ready to accept Atletico interest related to the initial £24m fee.
