Liverpool goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili is the subject of a loan bid from Besiktas, according to reports.

The Georgia international joined the Reds from Valencia last summer and deputized for Alisson when the Brazilian was injured earlier in the season. Mamardashvili has made just one appearance in the last two months – in the FA Cup game against Barnsley – and it seems unlikely that he will figure much outside of that competition over the remainder of the season.

Foot Mercato, as relayed by Turkish Football, reports that Besiktas' offer to sign Mamardashvili on loan until the end of the season includes a €2 million ($2.4 million) fee, while the offer also includes a clause that would allow the Turkish club to extend the agreement into next season.

It is not clear whether Liverpool would entertain such an offer, but it feels unlikely considering Alisson's poor injury record over the last couple of years.

If Mamardashvili were to leave and Alisson suffers another injury, the Reds would be left with Freddie Woodman as their goalkeeper.

Woodman joined Liverpool from Preston last summer and has played once for the club, in the 3-0 Carabao Cup loss to Crystal Palace last October.

Meanwhile, Liverpool is being linked with a bid to sign Eduardo Camavinga, the Real Madrid midfielder.

The Daily Briefing reports that Liverpool has made initial contact with the player, who seems to be linked with Liverpool with high regularity.

It's believed that Camavinga would command a fee of around $100 million.

In a press conference on Friday, Liverpool head coach Slot remained coy on the club's transfer plans during the closing days of the January window.

The window closes on Monday, Feb. 2, at 7pm GMT, and it has been a quiet window for the Reds thus far, with 17-year-old Mor Ndiaye the only addition so far; Ndiaye joined Liverpool from Amitie FC in Senegal and has linked up with Liverpool's Under-21 squad.

Slot said: "If we think we have a player who can help us and think it is possible, we will do so, but those are conversations that don't take place in this room."

Pressed further on what his initial response meant, Slot answered: "I gave the answer I gave. If that means it's likely or unlikely."

When the same reporter came back for a third time, asking whether it would be a quiet day on Monday, Slot joked: "OK, it could be. Do you want to play golf?"
