Warning, Benfica: Rui Costa faces stiff competition for Davitashvili | OneFootball

Benfica faces strong competition in the race to sign Zuriko Davitashvili. It has been possible to ascertain that Olympiakos, a historic club from Greece, has entered the scene for the Georgian footballer and has already made a formal offer to Saint-Étienne.

According to recently gathered information, the Ligue 1 club received an offer of around 10.5 million euros from the club owned by Evangelos Marinakis, aiming to sign the player in this January transfer window, thus surpassing Benfica in the race for the winger.

The same sources indicate that, in addition to the fixed amount, Olympiakos has included about 3 million euros in objectives. However, it appears that the overall offer of 10.5 M€ + 3 M€ does not meet the French club's expectations.

It should be noted that Benfica, which aims to strengthen its offensive wings in January, has already inquired about Zuriko Davitashvili, one of the standout figures of Saint-Étienne this season. According to the same sources, the management led by Rui Costa also made an offer for the Georgian international.

This season, playing for Saint-Étienne, Zuriko Davitashvili — valued at 8 million euros — has played 17 matches: 16 in Ligue 2 and one in the French Cup. In 1,252 minutes of play, the left winger has scored nine goals and provided one assist.
