G. Mamardashvili Transfer from Valencia to AFC Bournemouth
Liverpool wanted Mamardashvili to go to Bournemouth this season to start adapting to the Premier League. The team of Andoni Iraola was willing to pay five million euros for the loan. However, the player wished to stay at Valencia.
Liverpool decided to loan Giorgi Mamardashvili to Bournemouth for the current season. However, the player did not appreciate this option and opted to stay at Valencia, a decision eventually accepted by Liverpool.
There had been reports that Mamardashvili could join Liverpool this summer and immediately move to Bournemouth on loan, but a deal has now been agreed which will see the goalkeeper return to Valencia on a season-long deal.
Earlier, Liverpool seemed to plan to steel Mamardashvili in the Premier League for a year at Bournemouth. However, Valencia will still have him for another season.

There was a suggestion in recent weeks of a loan to Bournemouth, but the player's desire is to continue with Valencia.
Bournemouth were waiting for the green light to sign Giorgi Mamardashvili, but that green light never came. The deal would have been structured in a way that Bournemouth would have received the Georgian for a season before he would have moved to Liverpool next summer as a way of circumventing Premier League rules. The Valencia star, however, snubbed Bournemouth and will instead remain on loan with his LaLiga side.
Mamardashvili wants to sign for Liverpool but requests to stay on loan at Valencia for this season. Liverpool initially intended to loan him to Bournemouth for the first season to avoid keeping him as a backup to Alisson Becker. However, Mamardashvili prefers to stay on loan at Valencia rather than move to Bournemouth.
Mamardashvili rejected a move to Bournemouth, which had offered 5 million euros for a loan deal as part of Liverpool's purchase operation. His refusal to play for Bournemouth would reduce the cost of the operation for Liverpool.
As part of the potential transfer to Liverpool, Mamardashvili would play two seasons on loan at Bournemouth before joining Liverpool in 2026. This is one of the four clubs interested in signing him.
Bournemouth have been touted as the likely landing spot for Mamardashvili if he did join Liverpool, but Premier League rules block clubs from sending new signings on loan to clubs in the same division, meaning Valencia would have to agree a loan deal with Bournemouth and a future transfer to Liverpool in two separate negotiations.
