Recruited this summer, Georges Mikautadze could already leave his favorite club, Olympique Lyonnais.
Georges Mikautadze was one of the biggest attractions in Ligue 1 last season. Loaned by Ajax to FC Metz, the Georgian was very effective with 13 goals and 4 assists in 20 matches. Following this performance, one of its training clubs, theOlympique Lyonnaisrushed to recruit him for nearly 20 million euros. His arrival was greatly appreciated by the Lyon public, who saw him as a future great striker for the club.
This season, even if the beginnings were complicated, Georges Mikautadze has been effective in recent weeks. Author of 6 goals and an assist in 20 matchesthe Georgian gains strength over the matches. However, barely arrived, Mikautadze could already leave his favorite club. Indeed, according to Ekrem Konur, many clubs are interested in one of the revelations of EURO 2024. It would be Galatasaray, West Ham, Bolognal’AS Rome and the Juventus. The Lyon club would ask between 25 and 30 million euros to let his 24-year-old striker go.
A compulsory departure?
Under contract until 2028, Georges Mikautadze could not imagine leaving his favorite club quickly. After an experience abroad which did not go very well, returning to France, particularly to Lyon, was important for him. However, Lyon's finances could well force the club to sell him.
With all the sales promises made by John Textor, Olympique Lyonnais is obliged to sell players. Certain nuggets like Cherki or Fofana are the most coveted players. But now, Mikautadze could well be part of this list. With the level he was able to show during the EURO, the Georgian enjoys a very high popularity rating. Despite the potential he can offer at Lyon's centre-forward position, a departure could be almost inevitable, given the current situation of Les Gones.
