Liverpool have made contact with a Spanish team over signing their highly-rated goalkeeper, while youngster Bobby Clark is wanted by as many as seven clubs.
Liverpool ‘make contact’ with Mamardashvili
According to journalist Nacho Sanchis for Relevo, Liverpool have contacted Valencia over the availability of goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili.
The Reds are willing to pay “more than €30 million (£25.7m)” to snap him up, and are happy to loan him out until Alisson eventually leaves in the future.
Their interest is said to have “accelerated,” though with Alisson expected to stay “for at least one more year,” a temporary plan will be put in place.
Bournemouth are named as potential loan destination for Mamardashvili, with Liverpool eager for him to “adapt to the Premier League.”
It is a questionable rumour, particularly given Caoimhin Kelleher and Vitezslav Jaros are on the books, but with Saudi clubs interested in Liverpool’s No. 1, a contingency plan cannot be ruled out.
Speaking of Alisson, the Liverpool Echo report that he returned to pre-season training on Monday, which means Arne Slot will have a full squad available for the first time on Tuesday.
