Alisson's replacement incoming? Goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili set for Liverpool medical as Reds strike deal with Valencia for 2025 transfer

<p>According to <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/live-blogs/transfer-news-live-updates-latest/7saGuFRiJxIW/v6pdBGzu1su4/" target="_blank"><em>The Athletic</em></a>, plans have been made for Mamardashvili to undergo a medical now that a deal worth up to €35 million (£29.6m/$39.1m), including add-ons, has been agreed with Valencia. But the intention is still for the Georgian to spend the remainder of 2024-25 with his current club.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Alisson is not being replaced right now, but Mamardashvili is tipped to move over from Spain next summer and "compete for a place". Altough it is feasible they could co-exist for a year or two, Alisson will be nearly 33 by the start of next season and is starting to enter the final chapter of his career. For what it's worth, however, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-us/lists/alisson-explains-why-snubbed-big-money-saudi-arabia-transfer-stay-liverpool/blt8bda49c18552538d" target="_blank">Brazil's No.1 has suggested he has no plans to step aside just yet</a>.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>It is likely to spell the end of Caoimhin Kelleher's time at Anfield, effectively demonstrating to the Irishman that he won't be Liverpool's first-choice goalkeeper even after Alisson. The homegrown stopper will have one year left on his contract by the end of this season and is likely to move on in pursuit of playing time.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>With Mamardashvili staying at Valencia for the time being, there isn't a pressure to rush anything through before the rapidly approaching summer transfer deadline. If Liverpool fans want to watch him in action, Valencia play twice more in La Liga before the September international break - against Athletic Club and Villarreal on August 28 and 31 respectively.</p>
