Liverpool goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili has made his first major move off the pitch — and it’s a big one.
The Georgian shot-stopper has entered the business world by investing in a $1 billion real estate project in his home country, signaling that he’s planning for life beyond football.
The 25-year-old, who has stepped up as Liverpool’s new No.1 during Alisson Becker’s absence, has reportedly joined hands with Archi Group, a leading Georgian real estate developer.
The project, named Grand Avenue, is being described as “the new Downtown of Tbilisi.”
A keeper with a vision beyond the goalposts
Mamardashvili, known for his calm presence in goal, seems to have carried the same composure into his financial decisions. Speaking about his first investment, he said:
“This is my first investment, and it’s a big milestone for me. Everyone who joins us will be proud to be part of the Grand Avenue project. We’re building the new Downtown of Tbilisi—a place that represents the city’s future. I’m confident that, together, we’ll create something truly remarkable.”
The Grand Avenue project will reportedly combine residential, commercial, and leisure spaces — including schools, coworking hubs, swimming pools, and restaurants.
Within just five hours of launch, over 600 apartments were sold, highlighting the strong demand for the development.
Archi executives praised Mamardashvili’s involvement, saying:
“Giorgi Mamardashvili is not only one of Georgia’s most accomplished athletes, but also a symbol of progress and ambition. Partnering with him spotlights our shared values of excellence and innovation.”
Is Mamardashvili setting up for life after football?
This move could be a sign of how seriously Mamardashvili is preparing for his post-football career.
The Georgian international has become one of Europe’s most talked-about goalkeepers, but even as he builds his reputation at Anfield, he’s already building skyscrapers back home.
Fans have joked that while Mamardashvili is saving goals for Liverpool, he’s “saving” for the future off the pitch too. From saving penalties to saving investments — it seems he’s got both covered!
The Grand Avenue project, located near Dinamo Stadium in Tbilisi, is expected to become a key part of the city’s skyline. With 75% of the site dedicated to green and recreational spaces, it’s being hailed as one of Georgia’s most sustainable developments to date.
