Georges Mikautadze is causing a stir in Ligue 1!

«It’s incredible, it’s magnificent, these are emotions that we can’t describe, they are historic, exceptional emotions. We are very happy to have reached the round of 16.“.

For its part, AS Monaco, which appreciates the player and which spoke last month with the player’s representatives, does not have any more agreement with the player even if it still seems very keen on the file, as a Monegasque source indicated to us in the last few hours. If Georges Mikautadze assured a few days ago that he had made his choice regarding his future club, the truth is a little more complicated. One thing is certain, the new darling of European football wants to stay in Ligue 1 and has made it a priority. The battle between French clubs is far from over…
