Valencia has become accustomed to bidding farewell to one of their prominent players each summer in recent times, and the next departure is expected to be Giorgi Mamardashvili. The 23-year-old goalkeeper has demonstrated commendable performance since joining the team early in 2021. Over the past two seasons, his adeptness in goal has played a pivotal role in ensuring safety for Los Che.
Mamardashvili is slated to be put up for sale this upcoming summer as Valencia endeavors to maintain financial equilibrium. The club has pegged his valuation at approximately €30 million. According to reports from Diario AS, Mamardashvili is the primary player earmarked for departure, while the young prospect Javi Guerra garners significant interest.
Valencia has already secured a pre-contract agreement with Rayo Vallecano goalkeeper Stole Dimitrievski for the forthcoming season. Dimitrievski’s current contract is set to expire in a few months, positioning him as the prospective first-choice goalkeeper for Valencia next season, contingent upon receiving a satisfactory offer for Mamardashvili.
While Mamardashvili has established himself as one of the premier shot-stoppers in Spain in recent years, he does exhibit deficiencies in aspects such as anticipation and distribution from the back. Conversely, Dimitrievski has showcased his ability to make crucial saves for Rayo Vallecano and presents a reliable alternative at the La Liga level.
