LIVERPOOL have agreed personal terms with goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili, according to reports.
The Georgian shot-stopper, 23, is keen to leave Valencia after two years out on loan in his home country.
But if the deal goes through, Mamardashvili will likely head back out on loan to Bournemouth to gain Premier League experience.
The Cherries are willing to pay the goalkeeper’s increased salary of £3.4m, which is more than what Valencia can afford at present.
And it could spell the end of Caoimhin Kelleher's time at Anfield, after SunSport reported that Juventus were plotting a bid in the region of £25-30m for the Ireland international.
Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano posted: "Liverpool have agreed personal terms with Mamardashvili.

"Bournemouth are open to signing him, then he’d become the Reds' new goalkeeper after Alisson. Agents now in Valencia for club talks, but no agreement yet."
Liverpool are eyeing up a long-term replacement for current No1 Alisson - who is a hero at Anfield.
For now, Alisson is expected to continue in that first-choice role for another year at least, despite interest from Saudi Arabia.
The Brazilian's deal runs until 2027, having put pen-to-paper on a six-year extension in 2021.
