Mamardashvili was the first contract under the coach Arne Slot. Although the agreement was finalized last summer, goalkeeper born in 2000 continued to play for Valencia until the end of the 2024/25 season. It was not until this summer that the Georgia player officially arrived at Anfield.
With Freddie Woodman, this is a big turning point in her career. He grew up from Newcastle United's training furnace, captured 138 matches in three Seasons for Preston and was honored as the best player in the 2022/23 season.
In addition, Woodman had 6 appearances for the U21 U21 team and was a familiar face at the young level of “Three Lions”. Now, he is about to enter a new challenge in Anfield, a fierce competition and extremely large ambition.
Of course, Woodman's ability to play next season is very low. Alisson is almost certainly captured in most of the season. In addition, goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili is also excellent and may be awarded the main capture in the Cup tournament and some other Premier League matches.
