Liverpool are reportedly close to signing Valencia goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili after agreeing on personal terms, although an agreement with Valencia has yet to be reached. Arne Slot, Liverpool's new manager, has yet to make his first signing, and Mamardashvili may be loaned out, possibly to Bournemouth, due to Alisson's current status as first-choice goalkeeper. This follows the collapse of a potential deal for Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi, who decided to stay with his current club. Valencia values Mamardashvili at over €45 million and has rejected previous offers, but the player is keen on the move. In other transfer news, Manchester United has been active, signing Bayern Munich defenders Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui and focusing on potential outgoings like Jadon Sancho.
