The end of the saga for the Georgian! Currently in Germany to play the Euro with his country, the striker has decided on his future. AS Monaco will be the international’s new club. With 13 goals and 4 assists in 20 games this season in Ligue 1, under the colors of Metz, Georges Mikautadze impressed. His performances were not long in getting noticed, and it was the Monegasques who won the battle. An agreement was reportedly reached between the two parties. It is a huge coup by the men of the Rock.
Georges Mikautadze remains in Ligue 1
“I confirm it, I will play in Ligue 1 next season. It will soon be clear.”Georges Mikautadze had declared to a Georgian media outlet on June 10th. And there you have it, it’s done. After having played in the play-offs with Metz, the latter had experienced relegation to Ligue 2 in favor of ASSE. But the Metz leaders knew it, keeping their phenomenon seemed mission impossible. Lens was also in the running, but it is indeed Monaco, with whom the contacts seemed closer and closer, who will recover the Georgian. He will thus play in the Champions League next year, he who continues to climb the ladder season after season.
A big fan of Saint-Étienne, I still thrill every time I talk about the 2013 Coupe de la Ligue title. Remember… ASSE-RENNES final, we play the eighteenth minute. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, receives the ball on the left, crosses with the outside of his foot, and finds Brandao who puts the ball in the back of the net with the left. 1-0 for the Greens, the score remains that way. Enough for me to remember it like it was yesterday.
