Incoming Liverpool goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili has revealed he will not be leaving the club on loan next season.
Having established himself as one of the best shot stoppers in world football, Mamardashvili was signed for a €30 million fee last summer from Valencia.
However, he spent the entire 2024-25 season on loan at the Mestalla Stadium, making 33 league appearances for Valencia.
As the 24-year-old prepares to team up with his new employers this summer, he has no plans of going out in search of more game time and is relishing competing with Alisson Becker for a starting berth.
“I’ll go to Liverpool and give my all, just like I did at Valencia,” Mamardashvili told GeoTeam (h/t Liverpool.com).
“The main thing is patience, training and hard work, and everything else will come by itself.
“I think it will be good; training with [Alisson] will help me grow too, and I will gain a lot of experience with him.”
Mamardashvili also confirmed Liverpool have been in constant contact with him since signing for them, and the Reds are counting on him for the future ahead.
“They are looking at me as the Liverpool goalkeeper for the next 10 years,” he added.
“Yes, they have even visited several times – we spoke to Liverpool, and they give you a lot of attention.”
Given Alisson is still performing at such a high level, it is unlikely the Brazilian will be relieved of his duty as number one next season, but Mamardashvili has shown he is not afraid of competition, having had to work his way up the pecking order at Valencia.
