Georges Mikautadze, OL striker, attracts several European clubs. A transfer this winter is possible.
Since his arrival atOlympique Lyonnais, Georges Mikautadze had a mixed start. At 24, the Georgian international played 21 matches in all competitionsmarking 7 buts. Despite his lackluster performances, his talent continues to attract the attention of major European clubs.
Galatasaray: A first offensive rejected
Recently, OL rejected an offer of 17 million euros from Galatasaray. The Turkish club wanted to secure the services of Mikautadze, but this proposal was considered insufficient by the Lyon leaders. The club's financial situation, although scrutinized by the DNCG, has not yet led to a hasty decision concerning a possible transfer.
Bayer Leverkusen and Everton in the running
According to information from Foot Markettwo other clubs came to inquire about Mikautadze: the Bayer Leverkusen et Everton. These two teams are looking to strengthen their offensive sector and see the Georgian striker as a credible option. Their representatives recently contacted the player to assess his intentions.
The German club, used to unearthing promising talents, could offer Mikautadze an ideal framework to flourish in the Bundesliga. With a philosophy focused on attacking play, Leverkusen would represent an interesting step in the striker's career.
For his part, Everton, in the midst of reconstruction, could rely on Mikautadze to revitalize their attack. The opportunity to play in the Premier League, one of the most competitive championships, could also appeal to the player.
A strategic decision for OL
Faced with these requests, Olympique Lyonnais finds itself in a delicate position. In search of liquidity to meet the demands of the DNCG, the club could be forced to sell Mikautadze. A offer reaching or exceeding 20 million euros could convince Lyon leaders. However, his departure would deprive the team of a key offensive element, in an already complicated season on a sporting level.
