Liverpool’s Next Transfer Target Revealed as Giorgi Mamardashvili Nears Move
Liverpool fans have been eagerly awaiting news of the club’s next transfer target, and it seems that Valencia goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili could be the player set to make the move to Anfield. With the summer transfer window drawing to a close, speculation is rife about who Liverpool will bring in to bolster their squad for the upcoming season.
Giorgi Mamardashvili, the 23-year-old shot-stopper from Valencia, has been linked with a move to Liverpool in recent days. Reports suggest that a deal worth €35 million (£30 million) is close to being agreed, with Mamardashvili potentially spending the season on loan at Valencia before joining the Reds permanently.
While Mamardashvili could be the first signing of the summer for Liverpool, there are also rumors circulating about other potential targets that the club may pursue before the transfer window closes on August 30. Sky Bet has compiled odds on several players who could make the move to Anfield, including Anthony Gordon, Jarrad Branthwaite, Ollie Watkins, Bryan Mbeumo, Marc Guehi, and Victor Gyokeres.
Anthony Gordon, a talented young winger, was reportedly close to joining Liverpool in a £75 million deal with Newcastle earlier in the summer, but the move fell through. There is speculation that the Reds could reignite their interest in Gordon before the transfer window closes, as he could provide valuable depth and competition in the attacking areas.
Jarrad Branthwaite, a promising defender, has also been linked with a potential move to Liverpool, with odds on his transfer suddenly changing earlier this week. However, there has been no contact between Liverpool and Everton regarding the transfer of Branthwaite, so it remains to be seen if the defender will be making the switch across Merseyside.
Ollie Watkins, the prolific striker from Aston Villa, has been mentioned as a potential target for Liverpool, with the Reds favored in the betting odds. However, Watkins signed a new contract with Villa last year, and Liverpool already have strong options in attack with Darwin Nunez and Diogo Jota, making a move for Watkins before the window closes unlikely.
Bryan Mbeumo, the talented forward from Brentford, was previously linked with a move to Liverpool, but rumors surrounding his potential transfer have quieted down in recent months. Brentford would likely demand a significant fee to part ways with Mbeumo, so it remains to be seen if Liverpool will pursue a deal for the young attacker.
Marc Guehi, the Crystal Palace defender and England international, has also been heavily linked with a move to Liverpool this summer. However, Guehi has been rumored to be more likely to join Newcastle than Liverpool if he decides to leave Selhurst Park, so it remains uncertain if the Reds will make a move for the talented center-back.
Victor Gyokeres, the striker from Sporting Lisbon, was tentatively linked with a move to Liverpool earlier in the summer, but given the Reds’ current options in attack, a transfer for Gyokeres seems unlikely. With strong competition for places in the squad, Liverpool may opt to focus on other areas of the team rather than pursuing a move for the Swedish forward.
Overall, the transfer window is an exciting time for Liverpool fans as they eagerly await news of potential new signings to strengthen the squad for the upcoming season. With time running out before the window closes, all eyes will be on Anfield to see who the Reds will bring in to bolster their ranks and mount a strong challenge for silverware in the months ahead.
