Varandas must pay €1m for player Rui Borges doesn't want at Sporting | OneFootball

Sporting will have to pay another €1 million for the signing of Giorgi Kochorashvili, at a time when the midfielder is very close to leaving Alvalade. The Georgian international is in advanced negotiations to return to Spain and join Getafe.

According to the newspaper A Bola, the additional amount was triggered by the green-and-whites qualifying for the Champions League, secured at the end of last season. The payment brings the Club’s investment in the 25-year-old player to €6.5 million.

Kochorashvili joined Sporting last summer from Levante for a fixed fee of €5.5 million. The deal also included a further €2 million tied to sporting objectives, one of which has now been met.

Despite signing a contract until June 2030 and being protected by an €80 million release clause, the midfielder failed to establish himself in the Lions’ team. Sporting are now looking to recover as much of the amount invested as possible through a transfer to Getafe.

Levante are also following the outcome of the negotiations, as they retained 12.75% of the capital gain generated by a future sale. That percentage could be reduced to 10% if a contractual compensation clause included in the deal with Sporting is triggered.
