Sporting have hardened their stance in negotiations with Sevilla over Giorgi Kochorashvili. The Andalusians remain interested in the Georgian midfielder, but have still been unable to reach an agreement with Sporting’s SAD for the player’s departure.

According to information reported by ‘ElDesmarque’, talks remain open, with the main obstacle being the financial terms of the deal. Sevilla want to sign Kochorashvili on loan and reduce the immediate investment, while the green-and-whites are demanding stronger guarantees.

The Spanish proposal is expected to be worth around €5.5 million in a future transfer, but dependent on certain objectives being met. Sporting do not intend to accept a loan move without the sale being sufficiently guaranteed and are trying to turn that clause into an obligation to buy or, at the very least, make the conditions that would allow it to be avoided more difficult.

Kochorashvili is open to a return to Spanish football, where he played for Levante before moving to Alvalade. The Georgian international has been unable to establish himself in a prominent role at Sporting and is among the players who could leave in this transfer window.

, but the club also do not intend to accept just any formula to quickly complete the deal. Until there is some common ground between the Lions’ demands and the Spaniards’ offer, Giorgi Kochorashvili will continue to wait for a solution.
