Valencia goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili is undergoing a medical ahead of sealing his £30million transfer to Liverpool.
The 23-year old Georgia international is set to become the first signing of the Arne Slot era but will stay with Valencia on loan for the season.
Mamardashvili will cost around £25m with a further £5m in add ons and a ten percent sell on clause.
Meanwhile, Liverpool are continuing to discuss potential new signings for this week.
Mail Sport reported earlier this month that the Reds were exploring the opportunity of signing Mamardashvili, who is viewed as one of Europe’s top young keepers.

The goalkeeper, a graduate of the Dinamo Tbilisi academy, joined Valencia permanently in 2022 following a loan spell at the club, and he has gone on to rack up more than 100 appearances for the LaLiga side.
The 23-year-old also featured in all of Georgia’s Euro 2024 games, helping them to reach the last-16, with Mamardashvili excelling in their memorable 2-0 win over Portugal in the group stage.
Alisson is set to remain as Liverpool’s No 1 for at least the coming campaign, but the Reds were keen to seize the opportunity to snap up a keeper of Mamardashvili’s calibre.

Caoimhin Kelleher will stay as the Brazilian’s No 2 for the time being, but the permanent signing of the Georgian raises further questions about his long-term future at Anfield.
Mamardashvili has started Valencia’s first two games of the season, with Los Ches suffering defeats to both Barcelona and Celta Vigo.
