Newcastle United will step up their search for a new goalkeeper, and the team’s top pick is Valencia’s Giorgi Mamardashvili.
The manager, Eddie Howe, is a great fan of the 6′ 6″ goalie, who has seen the 23-year-old Georgian multiple times for the Premier League team.
Newcastle will be keen to bring in a new goalkeeper in the summer to compete with their 32-year-old first-choice Nick Pope.
The Georgian footballer is now preparing for his nation’s first-ever participation in the competition at Euro 2024.
In the last three La Liga seasons, Mamardashvili has been a prominent player despite only being 23 years old.
Mamardashvili is reportedly available for £35 million during the transfer window, according to Spanish publication Super Deporte (via Newcastle World). Valencia is required to sell players in order to raise the necessary transfer cash.
According to the source, Newcastle is in the lead in the competition to recruit the goalie.
Given that Newcastle’s defense allowed 62 goals in the Premier League in 2023–24, Howe is keen to fortify it for the upcoming season.
Newcastle United is expected to have a busy transfer window.
The injury crisis that the Magpies experienced the previous season made it difficult for them to qualify for the Champions League, thus they need to acquire players to give depth to their roster.
One of the players with a long-term injury was Pope, and Loris Karius and Martin Dubravka were not strong enough to take his spot.
The team has made the decision to support Howe during the transfer window, and he plans to recruit players to fill up all positions.
