Liverpool have made Giorgi Mamardashvili their belated first summer signing.
Mamardashvili is the maiden incoming of Arne Slot’s Anfield reign after a deal worth €35 million (£29.6M) was agreed with Valencia for the goalkeeper.
The Georgia international will spend the remainder of this campaign on loan at the Mestalla prior to officially linking up with the Reds ahead next summer.
His arrival marks the end of a lengthy process in which his new employers had failed to sign a player until the final week of the summer transfer window.
A pursuit of Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi was derailed by the Euro 2024 winner ultimately deciding to remain with his boyhood club.
