Liverpool goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvilli has been heavily linked with a move away from the club in recent weeks.
Giorgi Mamardashvili has struggled for regular opportunities at the Premier League club since arriving from Valencia. However, a report by Football Insider has claimed that Liverpool are unwilling to sanction his departure.
The former Valencia shot-stopper has been a backup option to Alisson Becker, and it is no surprise that Liverpool are not keen on sanctioning his departure. Alisson is prone to injury, and they need a reliable backup option at all times.
The 25-year-old goalkeeper did quite well during his time at Valencia, and he arrived at Liverpool in a £25 million deal with massive expectations. However, he has not had ample opportunities to showcase his true qualities so far.
The player has made just five appearances in the Premier League for Liverpool. He will need a consistent run in the team to truly demonstrate his pedigree in English football. The 25-year-old has had more opportunities in the UEFA Champions League, and he has done reasonably well in the competition.
Giorgi Mamardashvilli did well at Valencia
Giorgi Mamardashvilli managed to keep 36 clean sheets for Valencia in his last four league campaigns with Los Che before moving to Liverpool. There is no doubt that he is a quality goalkeeper. It remains to be seen whether he gets the opportunity to prove himself in England with Liverpool. The player must seek showdown talks with the club at the end of the season regarding his future.
Sitting on the bench at Liverpool would be detrimental to his development, and it is not surprising that he is frustrated at Anfield. He needs more opportunities to continue his development and fulfil his potential. If Liverpool cannot provide him with the necessary opportunities, it would be wise for the player to explore a potential exit.
Mamardashvilli needs more clarity on his role
Prior to his arrival, Caoimhin Kelleher had also struggled for regular opportunities at Liverpool, despite being an outstanding talent. Liverpool will need to sort out the situation in the coming weeks and provide Giorgi Mamardashvili with more clarity regarding his role in the upcoming campaign.
Alisson is entering the twilight stages of his career, and they will need a long-term replacement soon. The Georgian goalkeeper will probably need to be a bit more patient before he is handed the starting role at the club.
