Giorgi Kochorashvili is on his way out of Sporting. Disappointed with the limited playing time given to him by Rui Borges, at the very least as the third option for Sporting’s midfield, the Georgian international has already been informed that he is not part of the plans for 2026/27.

Given this scenario, the player has already started looking for a new solution for the future. The midfielder’s intention is to return to Spanish football, the league where he built much of his professional career. Over the course of his career, he has represented clubs such as Peralada, Girona, Castellón and Levante.

Although he started the season with some prominence and was used regularly in the opening rounds, he gradually lost ground in the technical staff’s choices as the campaign progressed. Morten Hjulmand and Hidemasa Morita remained the main picks, while João Simões and Daniel Bragança also ended up overtaking him in the squad hierarchy.

Sporting have already received some approaches for the player, but are still waiting for concrete offers, seeking to recover part of the €5.5 million investment made to sign him from Levante. The Valencia-based club is one of the interested parties (Remember HERE).
