What Valencia Fans Did to Giorgi Mamardashvili in First Match After Liverpool Transfer

Giorgi Mamardashvili’s recent £29 million transfer to Liverpool from Valencia made waves across the footballing world, signaling a pivotal moment in the young goalkeeper’s career.

However, despite his high-profile move to one of the Premier League’s top clubs, Mamardashvili has opted to stay in Spain for another season, continuing his journey with Valencia on loan.

The 23-year-old Georgian international, who impressed fans and critics alike during Euro 2024, was Arne Slot’s first signing as the new Liverpool head coach.

The move, orchestrated by Slot and Liverpool’s sporting director Richard Hughes, was designed with careful consideration of Mamardashvili’s career trajectory.

With Alisson Becker still commanding the No. 1 spot at Liverpool, the Reds agreed that their new recruit would benefit more from regular playing time at Valencia rather than sitting on the bench at Anfield.

Mamardashvili’s decision to stay at Valencia for the 2024-25 season has not only been well received by the club’s management but also by the fans, who have shown unwavering support for the goalkeeper.

According to reports from Spanish media outlet El Desmarque, “the Valencian fans welcomed him in style and even chanted his name on more than one occasion” during his first match back with the team.

The game, which saw Valencia held to a 1-1 draw against Getafe, highlighted Mamardashvili’s value to the squad as he put on a commendable performance, despite being unable to prevent Ayoze Pérez’s goal.

In an emotional Instagram post, Mamardashvili expressed his gratitude to the Valencia community, stating, “Dear Fans, I can’t start talking about Valencia and this club without expressing my gratitude. Thank you for the continuous support and love I have felt at every stage since the first day of my arrival at the club for three years.”

He continued, “Valencia didn’t just change my football career; it changed my life. I am forever grateful for the impact this club has had on me. We all know what a challenging year awaits us and how transformative this period is for the club.

“Therefore, I decided to stay in Valencia for one more year and give my best to help the club achieve its goal. As never before, we will fight to the end!”

This heartfelt message, coupled with his decision to remain at Valencia, has solidified Mamardashvili’s place in the hearts of Los Ches fans, who are eager to see him help the team through what promises to be a challenging but exciting season.
