Giorgi Kochorashvili may be closer to leaving Sporting. Sevilla have placed the Georgian international at the top of their midfield priorities and are now more willing to move forward with a permanent signing.
According to newspaper A Bola, significant developments are expected during this week. The main stumbling block remains the structure of the deal, as Sporting’s SAD wants an immediate sale that would allow them to recoup the €5.5 million invested in signing the midfielder from Levante.
On the Spanish side, the financial restrictions imposed by La Liga have limited their room for manoeuvre, but there is confidence that an agreement can be reached. Luis García sees Kochorashvili as the ideal profile to replace Djibril Sow, who has meanwhile been transferred to Genoa for €4 million.
The 27-year-old midfielder had a season below expectations at Alvalade, making 26 appearances and playing 992 minutes. Even so, he still enjoys a good reputation in Spain because of the performances he previously delivered for Levante.
The move now depends on a final agreement between the clubs, with Sporting still intent on recovering the investment made in the player.
