Journalist: £24m Liverpool star is open to summer exit

Journalist: £24m Liverpool star is open to summer exit Liverpool Future Uncertain as Giorgi Mamardashvili Considers Atletico Madrid Move Liverpool’s long term goalkeeping picture has come into sharper focus, with Giorgi Mamardashvili weighing up his options ahead of the summer window. The Georgia international arrived at Anfield in a deal worth £24m in 2024, viewed internally as a key part of the club’s succession planning. However, developments since then have altered the landscape, leaving Mamardashvili facing an uncertain role under Arne Slot despite Liverpool’s domestic success.

Limited opportunities at Liverpool Mamardashvili returned to Liverpool after a loan spell with Valencia, where he had continued his development in LaLiga. The expectation was clear, he would compete to become Liverpool’s number one. That has not materialised.

Alisson Becker remains firmly established as first choice when fit, with Mamardashvili restricted largely to appearances during injury enforced absences. Liverpool’s decision to extend Alisson’s contract has only reinforced that hierarchy. It effectively signals continuity in goal, leaving Mamardashvili with reduced prospects of consistent minutes in the short term.

For a player entering a key phase of his career at 25, regular football is understood to be a priority.
