Liverpool are stepping up their efforts to sign Valencia goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili, with reports indicating that the Merseyside club submitted a third bid for the 23-year-old Georgian star.
This latest offer is said to be close to Valencia's £34 million ($44m) asking price, as the Reds aim to finalize the deal soon.
Liverpool's persistence in acquiring Mamardashvili is evident as they continue to push forward despite earlier setbacks. Valencia rejected Liverpool's initial bids, which were well below the valuation of the La Liga goalkeeper.
However, Liverpool's third offer reportedly comes close to the £34m mark, with a base fee of £30m ($38.8m) plus bonuses.

What are Liverpool's future plans for Mamardashvili?
The 23-year-old, who has caught the eye with his performances in Spain, is seen as a crucial addition to Liverpool's squad depth.
Although Alisson Becker remains the undisputed first-choice goalkeeper at Anfield, Mamardashvili is expected to be loaned out to Bournemouth for the upcoming season once the deal is completed.
This arrangement is reportedly accepted by Mamardashvili, who is keen on a future at Liverpool despite limited immediate opportunities.

As the Reds get their new season underway, securing Mamardashvili would allow them to shift focus to other areas of need, particularly in midfield, following the recent disappointment in their pursuit of Martin Zubimendi.
With personal terms already agreed upon, Liverpool fans can expect an official announcement soon if everything goes according to plan.
