Followed by OM last summer, Georges Mikautadze finally joined his favorite club, OL. But the financial problems of Les Gones have alerted the Marseille leaders, who still follow the Georgian striker.
Last summer, Georges Mikautadze was one of the most sought-after players in the transfer window in France. Upon leaving Metz, the Georgian striker turned the heads of the leaders of Marseille, Monaco and Lyon. It was ultimately the Gones who won the bet with a check slightly less than 20 million euros. A great deal for OL, who have picked up a successful striker in Ligue 1 and who was coming off a superb Euro in which he finished as co-top scorer. But for now, Mikautadze has not won his long-distance duel with Alexandre Lacazette and Olympique Lyonnais is in an extremely critical financial situation.
Mikautadze at OM, a “very complicated” operation
Two elements which have revived the interest of Marseille, whose leaders are carefully following the situation of Georges Mikautadze. The information revealed by La Tribune OM a few days ago was the subject of some clarifications from the insider account. “OM continues to follow him. It would be a very complicated operation in any case” the Olympique de Marseille specialist wanted to clarify, implying that OL will not be so easy in negotiations and especially not to send their attacker to a rival club. On the Marseille side, we do not seem to be making the recruitment of a number nine a priority for the winter transfer window anyway.
“The priorities are defensive apart from the Pogba case” concluded the Marseille insider account. Suffice to say that unless the door opens wide due to OL's financial situation, a transfer of Georges Mikautadze to OM should not see the light of day and even less so from January .
