Giorgi Mamardashvili, 22, is a shot-stopper under Chelsea's radar and is also wanted by Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur.
CalcioMercatoWeb claims that Chelsea are in the lead in the competition to recruit Giorgi Mamardashvili from Valencia in the summer. The 22-year-old shot-stopper has been outstanding for the Spanish club, and clubs all around Europe have taken notice of him thanks to his achievements.
Mamardashvili first attended the youth academy in Tbilisi, Inamo. He advanced through the club's ranks before returning to Valencia in the summer of 2021 on a six-month initial loan. His outstanding performances in Spain led to a long-term contract in the following winter.
During his career with the club, the 22-year-old has played in 52 games and has 16 clean sheets. The international from Georgia has only allowed 58 goals while representing the La Liga outfit.
In his 31 appearances thus far this season, Mamardashvili has seven clean sheets. Although the 22-year-old's contract with the club expires in the summer of 2027, the degree of interest in him suggests that he may leave the club before then.
The Georgian international may be available for less than his €100 million release clause. And it won't be a surprise to see him move in the upcoming season considering the spending power of the clubs involved.
Due to recent performances by Kepa Arrizabalaga and Édouard Mendy, Chelsea is eager to hire a new goalkeeper. Due to injury, Mendy has been unable to play, while Arrizabalaga has shown uneven play.
Both of their keepers' futures are in doubt, and one of them is probably going to leave in the summer. The 22-year-old may be a fantastic addition to their team and might help the Blues, who have had a terrible season thus far, get back on track.
However, they will have to contend with Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United. To challenge David de Gea for the starting position, Erik ten Hag is eager to recruit a new goalkeeper. Even the future of the Spanish shot-stopper is out in the air because he has not signed a new deal. Additionally, signing Mamardashvili might be a wise choice.
Also interested in the 22-year-old is Tottenham. Hugo Lloris' successor is being sought. The London club believes it is time to sign a new keeper since the former French international is deteriorating and will assist them end their trophy drought.
While the player's reps were recently in London, they spoke with Chelsea about a prospective transfer. It will be intriguing to watch if they can prevail in the transfer battle as a result.
Brentford's David Raya set to reject contract extension
David Raya, a goalkeeper who has been linked to Manchester United, will not extend his deal with Brentford. Transfer Journalist Fabrizio Romano claims that the Spaniard has decided not to sign a new deal to extend his time with the Bees.
According to the Daily Mail, United and Tottenham Hotspur are two clubs that are interested in pursuing a deal with Raya. Raya wants to join a "top club."
Even though his contract is set to expire in the summer of 2024, he might try to get moved at the end of the current campaign. In such case, Thomas Frank has suggested a price of at least £40 million.
Stretty News reports that because of the ongoing talks between the team and current No. 1 David de Gea, who is anticipated to agree to an extended agreement with lower pay, United are now unlikely to rekindle their interest in the 27-year-old.
Erik ten Hag appears to be confident that De Gea will be the starting goalkeeper at Old Trafford for the foreseeable future, thus they won't spend as much money on a backup or rotation stopper.
