Chelsea showing interest in Valencia goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili?

Throughout this week, it has become apparent that newly-appointed head coach Mauricio Pochettino has made decisions over who he wishes to keep in his squad and who he would be open to selling.

The likes of Mateo Kovacic, Mason Mount and Kai Havertz are seemingly becoming realistic options for Manchester City, Manchester United and Real Madrid respectively.

However, Chelsea are seemingly yet to make any progress with the departure of one of their goalkeepers, most likely Edouard Mendy due to his reluctance to pen a new contract.

Nevertheless, the Blues are known to be in the market for a new stopper, with it recently being claimed that Inter Milan's Andre Onana is on their radar.

According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, via football.london, Chelsea are giving consideration to making an approach for Mamardashvili.

Valencia have endured a below-par campaign in La Liga, currently sitting just two points above the relegation zone ahead of the final day of the season.

Defensively though, Los Che possess a respectable record, conceding just 44 times in 37 matches which is the 10th-best effort in the division.

Mamardashvili has been an ever-present between the sticks, the 22-year-old enhancing his reputation even when his team have lost 18 times in Spain's top flight.

Chelsea have allegedly sent scouts to assess the capabilities of the Georgia international, who has also been linked with other top European clubs in the past.

Regardless of whether Valencia remain in La Liga or not, Mamardashvili is likely to receive widespread interest in his signature over the coming months.

With Mamardashvili holding a contract until 2027, Valencia are not necessarily under any pressure to sell a player who could improve over the coming years.

That said, the financial situations at many clubs in Spain may dictate that they have to be open to offers for one of their most prized assets, like they were with Goncalo Guedes just under a year ago.
