Future Liverpool goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili admits he's not "not in the best shape" after making a huge error in Valencia's 2-1 win over Valladolid on Saturday.
The 23-year-old was signed last summer in a deal worth £29m and will make the switch to Merseyside for pre-season.
However his final campaign at the Mestalla has been a difficult one, with Valencia scrapping to avoid relegation and conceding the second-highest goal tally in La Liga, having shipped 45 goals.
Mamardashvili's form has been inconsistent and he was at fault again for Valladolid's equaliser, passing directly to Juanmi Latasa on the edge of the penalty area to score.

Valencia managed to win the match but the Georgian held his hands up after the game and vowed to do better.
Writing on Instagram, he said: "I know I'm not at my best shape right now, but I'm convinced that challenges make us stronger.
I'm putting all my effort into getting back to my best version as soon as possible.

"Thank you very much, Mestalla, for the support!
Today's victory is very important for us and fills us with energy to continue."
Liverpool will hope that Mamardashvili uses the season as a learning curve before he arrives in the summer to compete with Alisson Becker and Caoimhin Kelleher at Anfield.
