Galatasaray insists on offering Georges Mikautadze and has revised its latest proposal upwards according to information from TF1. But OL still have no plans to part with their Georgian international.
Georges Mikautadze in Galatasaray is definitely the soap opera at the start of 2025, at least in Türkiye. The local press only talks about the Georgian international, priority of the “Gala” to compensate for the injury of Mauro Icardi. In recent hours, the Turkish press has mentioned a proposal worth 20 million euros for the Olympique Lyonnais striker, recruited from FC Metz for the same sum only six months ago. This Sunday, it is TF1 which provides details on the file.
On his X account, the journalist from the first channel Saber Desfarges reveals that Galatasaray has revised its proposal upwards with an offer estimated at 21 million euros. But this little game of negotiations no longer amuse anyone at OL since John Textor refused this new advance. “New offer from Galatasaray for Georges Mikautadze. Nearly 21 million euros with bonus. Offer refused by Olympique Lyonnais » published the TF1 journalist on his account
L’OL refuse 21 ME pour Mikautadze
Beyond the proposed price, the Rhone club has no intention of selling its 24-year-old striker, who is expected to take over from Alexandre Lacazette at the forefront of the Lyon attack next season. . The player is on the same wavelength, the latter having publicly made it known that he wanted to stay in Lyon during this winter transfer window. But visibly lacking in ideas, Galatasaray is persisting and only sees Mikautadze at the start of January and there is little chance that the stubbornness of the Turkish club will end up paying off, unless there is a completely unreal by January 31st.
