The summer transfer market is in full swing, and Manchester City, under the direction of Pep Guardiola, is no exception. Although the English club has not been one of the most active so far, everything seems to indicate that they could carry out a highly impactful operation in the coming days. One of the most talked-about possible departures is that of goalkeeper Ederson, who has received tempting offers from Arab football and could be considering a change of scenery.
Pep Guardiola's situation
Manchester City have had a difficult start to the season, with a defeat in the Community Shield against Leicester City and a loss in their league debut against Tottenham. These results have highlighted some weaknesses in the team, and Pep Guardiola is determined to strengthen certain areas to keep the team competitive. The initial lineup in these matches has been the most expensive in history, with a total cost of 614.8 million, highlighting the importance of strategic investments in the squad.
The ideal replacement: the Georgian goalkeeper
Given the possible departure of Ederson , Pep Guardiola is already clear about who his ideal replacement would be. The coach's gaze has been directed towards LaLiga, where he has identified a goalkeeper who has shone in his league and in international competitions. The need to have a reliable goalkeeper is crucial, and Pep Guardiola is not willing to leave any loose ends in this search.
The name that resonates strongly in the offices of the Etihad Stadium is that of Giorgi Mamardashvili, Valencia's goalkeeper. Giorgi Mamardashvili has been one of the most outstanding players in the Euro Cup, which has increased his value and interest from several European clubs. Despite his youth, the Georgian has shown a level of maturity and skill that places him among the best goalkeepers in Europe.
The future of Valencia after the offers for Giorgi Mamardashvili
For now, Valencia has managed to retain its star thanks to the lack of a formal offer that meets the club's expectations. However, interest from Manchester City could change this situation quickly. It is estimated that Mamardashvili's price is around 40 million, a figure that Valencia would seriously consider when considering the possibility of negotiating his sale.
