New stage in the Mikautadze summer saga. On the shelves of several Ligue 1 clubs, the Georgian has signed up with FC Metz. The Lorraine club had recovered its player on loan after his departure for Ajax, Metz has just exercised the purchase option.
A few weeks ago, AS Monaco seemed to be the destination of the Georgian striker. Everything seemed put together… seemed. Because since then, there was first of all the player’s denial on his social network Instagram. Then, the verdict on TV rights has still not been reached and the sale of ASM has cooled the matter. But the Monegasques did not throw the file in the trash. The ASM is engaged in a battle with the Racing Club de Lens to enlist the player.
Bought to better resell this summer
The two clubs must negotiate with FC Metz. Ajax Amsterdam has just officially announced that an agreement has been reached with Metz for the transfer of Georges Mikautadze. The striker had been on loan to the French club for six months, with a purchase option included in the contract. We are talking about a transfer fee of 13 million euros, the sale price of the player. The Georgian international’s contract with Ajax ran until June 30, 2028. For his part, Messins have exercised the option with a view to reselling the player at a high price during this same summer transfer window.
Now out of the Euro with Georgia after the 4-1 defeat against Spain, Georges Mikautadze spoke about his recent performances. “It opens me up to the whole of Europe, I show my qualities here, it makes me happy. I’m going on holiday and then we’ll see what happens next. No decision for the moment.”
