Liverpool are closing in on the signing of goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili from Valencia.
The Reds are thought to have offered an initial £25.6m (€30m) plus £4.3m (€5m) in add-ons to sign the Georgia international.
It is also likely the 23-year-old will stay on loan at Valencia for the rest of the season as part of the deal.

Sky Sports News reported last week that the idea of a loan into the Premier League - potentially to Bournemouth - was part of negotiations.
However, it is believed Mamardashvili would prefer to remain at Valencia on loan.
Sky Sports News understands his potential signing has no bearing on the current goalkeeper situation at Anfield.
Alisson Becker is and will remain the club's number one goalkeeper.
However, Liverpool are doing due diligence on future 'keepers for the day when the Brazilian moves on or retires - and Mamardashvili is someone they believe has big potential.
Republic of Ireland international Caoimhin Kelleher is Liverpool's second-choice goalkeeper behind Alisson.
Mamardashvili was one of the standout players at Euro 2024, helping Georgia reach the last 16 for the first time in their history.
The 23-year-old joined Valencia from Dinamo Tbilisi in his homeland in the summer of 2021 and has gone on to make 100 appearances for the Spanish side, keeping 31 clean sheets.
If a deal for Mamardashvili can be completed he would become Liverpool's first signing since the arrival of head coach Arne Slot and sporting director Richard Hughes.
Liverpool thought they were close to signing Martin Zubimendi, but the Spanish midfielder changed his mind and opted to stay at Real Sociedad.
