Sporting player as good as sold, but not yet cleared to leave | OneFootball

Giorgi Kochorashvili is set to leave Sporting and join Sevilla. The transfer will immediately bring 4.5 million euros into the coffers of Sporting’s SAD, with further amounts potentially added depending on performance-related objectives. However, there are still issues to be resolved.

with a few formalities still needing to be finalized before the 27-year-old player is given the green light to travel.

Sevilla’s initial objective was to have the player available as early as Saturday’s match against Athletic Bilbao, but that scenario is now highly unlikely. Even so, the deal is not at risk, and Kochorashvili is already handling the logistical arrangements to say goodbye to Lisbon.

The transfer also matches the player’s wishes, as he had always placed a return to Spanish football at the top of his priorities. Kochorashvili built much of his career in that country and wanted to return to a setting he knows well.

The player says goodbye to Sporting after a season in which he failed to establish himself as expected. In 2025/26, he made 26 appearances for the green and whites without scoring a single goal, and he was no longer part of Rui Borges’s plans for the new season.
