Valencia has to give Newcastle United and other suitors a deadline to sign Giorgi Mamardashvili, as the club probably wants to resolve his future before the Euros.
According to Elders Marque, Valencia has given Newcastle United a deadline of under two weeks to seal the move for Giorgi Mamardashvili. The Georgian goalkeeper is the subject of interest from the Magpies, with Los Che demanding €40 million for the custodian ahead of the summer.
Newcastle handed Giorgi Mamardashvili deadline
Newcastle United’s need for a goalkeeper is no secret, and they have some critical names on their shortlist, including that of Giorgi Mamardashvili. With the Magpies now targeting, a new goalkeeper, not to become their No.1 but rather compete with Nick Pope, has already seen the like of Aaron Ramsdale rule out a move to St James Park.
Magpies boss Eddie Howe might have seen Ramsdale as the ideal option, but with this Arsenal stopper out of the running, he might have switched the attention firmly towards Giorgi Mamardashvili. The Valencia midfielder is eager to join a Premier League side, and the Magpies might well prove a compelling option for his career.
However, Valencia has now set a deadline of under two weeks for Newcastle to make a decision on Mamardashvili, with the €40 million-rated keeper ready to move. Newcastle are eager, but there are doubts whether they will pay anything closer to that fee.
Mamardashvili has been a revelation of sorts since signing up for Valencia three years ago, as he just made his 100th appearance for the club. The Spanish side are eager to wrap up a deal well before the Euros, where the keeper will play a key role for Georgia in Group F.
Valencia to seek their asking price
Valencia reportedly rejected Bayern Muncih’s €35 million moves for Mamardashvili, which suggests they are adamant about seeking the €40 million asking price. The Georgian keeper has proved his worth as one of the most promising talents in Europe, and Los Che will look to get their asking price.
Hence, should Newcastle United pursue their interest in Mamardashvili further, they will have to pay the required price for the €40 million-rated keeper.
