I was even surprised they had to go for a goalkeeper instead... Rumours are that Allison might be leaving anytime soon after this season which made the signing of Giorgi Mamardashvili a necessity ahead of the future, I think it's the ads-on that made the price fee go up to €30 miillion initially the plan was to loan him to Bournemouth but the 23year old chooses to stay with Valencia for the one year loan. It's a great news for the reds one I consider to be a solid signing unlike some EPL club who signs everything they see in the transfer market. Maybe Liverpool should also consider signing a defensive midfielder to strengthen their defense as well.
