Benfica make €8m bid for Khvicha Kvaratskhelia’s team-mate | OneFootball

Benfica had an 8 million euro offer rejected for Zuriko Davitashvili, a winger representing Saint-Étienne. The French second division club was not satisfied with the values presented by the Eagles and declined the offer for the teammate of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia in the Georgian national team.

The information was disclosed by the GeoTeam portal and reproduced by various media outlets in the Caucasus country. The Luz emblem identified the player as a possible reinforcement for the offensive sector, but the first approach was unsuccessful. The French maintain a firm stance in the negotiations and believe the player could yield a higher financial return.

Besides Benfica, Everton from the Premier League is also keeping an eye on the player's situation, which could further inflate his price. In the last summer market, clubs like Fenerbahçe (then with José Mourinho) and Besiktas had already shown interest in the 24-year-old footballer.

Moreover, the athlete could have been a last-minute reinforcement for Benfica at the close of the summer transfer market. The Reds negotiated with Saint-Etienne, but the final choice ended up being Dodi Lukebakio (Learn more HERE).

In the current sports season, playing for Saint-Étienne, Zuriko Davitashvili – valued at 8 million euros – played 17 matches: 16 in Ligue 2 and one in the French Cup. In the 1,252 minutes he was on the field, the left winger scored nine goals and made one assist.
