Manchester United, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur are all reportedly keeping tabs on Valencia goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili.

Manchester United, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur are all reportedly interested in signing Valencia goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili.

The Georgia international joined Valencia on an initial loan deal in the summer of 2021, before making his move a permanent one just six months later.

Mamardashvili was originally signed to be a backup, but he has since established himself as the club's number-one goalkeeper, featuring in all 27 league matches this season.

Although he has only kept five clean sheets this term in a Valencia side that are currently in a La Liga relegation fight, his performances have attracted the attention of several Premier League clubs.

According to Cope, Premier League giants Man United, Chelsea and Tottenham are all keeping tabs on the 22-year-old.

With uncertainty surrounding the futures of David de Gea, Tom Heaton, Jack Butland and Dean Henderson, Man United are looking to strengthen their goalkeeping department.

The Red Devils allegedly met with Mamardashvili's representatives a few months ago, but it remains to be seen if Erik ten Hag's side are willing to pursue a transfer.

Tottenham, who may look to replace Hugo Lloris this summer, have sent club personnel to watch Mamardashvili in action and continue to monitor his development.

Chelsea, meanwhile, met with the player's agents ahead of Tuesday's Premier League meeting with Liverpool at Stamford Bridge.

The Blues could look to offload at least one of Kepa Arrizabalaga or Edouard Mendy, and they are supposedly keen to bring in a new number-one goalkeeper during the upcoming summer transfer window.

In a separate report, Fabrizio Romano revealed that Leicester City are leading the race for the Georgian goalkeeper as they look to find a long-term replacement for Kasper Schmeichel, who left the club last summer.

Leicester's hopes of securing Mamardashvili's signature are likely to depend on whether they can avoid relegation, with the Foxes currently two points adrift from safety.

Prising Mamardashvili away from Ruben Baraja's side may prove tricky though, as the goalkeeper signed a new deal last year until June 2027.

Mamardashvili's new Valencia contract allegedly contains a significant release clause believed to be €100m (£87.5m).
