Liverpool Still Monitors Transfer Exchange, Goalkeeper Becomes Target

Giorgi Mamardashvili wants Liverpool (Instagram/@valenciacf) to be sent home.

JAKARTA - Liverpool actually do not want to be too active in the January 2025 transfer market considering that there is no urgency to add ammunition.

In addition, recruiting players in winter windows is more difficult than the summer of June.

However, the Reds are still monitoring market movements. One of the sectors that is the latest focus is the goalkeeper.

Later, Liverpool's manager, Arne Slot, expressed his desire to deepen the goalkeeper's position. The name of Valencia goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili also appeared.

"It's a little strange I said during the summer break that we were very happy with this team, but I said something different now. We've always seen the market."

"We are doing this (monitoring) to goalkeeper (Giorgi Mamardashvili). If there is an opportunity in the transfer market, this club always tries to bring in that opportunity. This team is in good condition."

"Unfortunately, Joe Gomez's injury forced us to change the four centre-backs to three."

"However, he will be back in a few weeks. I am very happy with this team. I think they deserve the trust of the club if they see their performance in the last half of the season," said Arne Slot.

However, the monitoring carried out by Liverpool was not aimed at purchasing. Mamardashvili still belongs to the Reds, but is on loan to Valencia.

This means that there is a chance for Mamardashvili to be sent back to Anfield based on Arne Slot's statement.

In addition, the Georgia goalkeeper's contract with Liverpool will also expire in June 2025.

It is not impossible that the Reds repatriated Mamardashvili and then extended the goalkeeper's contract instead of spending money to buy players.

Apart from that, Liverpool are now six points ahead at the top of the Premier League with one game more.

The Reds' performance in the Champions League is also still impressive by being at the top of the standings unbeaten from six matches (five wins and one draw).

Nearby, Arne Slot's troops will try to continue the positive trend in the Carabao Cup semifinal against Tottenham Hotspur in the first leg on Thursday, January 9, 2025, early morning WIB.
