Kochorashvili could go on loan to La Liga, Sporting waiting for options | OneFootball

Levante is considering the possibility of requesting a loan for Giorgi Kochorashvili from Sporting. The 26-year-old midfielder, who left the Valencian club to join Alvalade in the last summer transfer window, is seen as a familiar profile to the team led by Luís Castro and could assist in the fight to stay in the Spanish first division, where the club currently occupies the 19th position.

The information is being reported by the newspaper Record, which states that, however, no formal contact has been made with Sporting's management by the Spanish club, although the intention might be realized in the coming days.

One of the factors that could favor this scenario is the limited use of the Georgian international, who started in seven of the 20 games played and has accumulated just over 700 minutes for Sporting, in an increasingly competitive area with Morten Hjulmand, João Simões, Hidemasa Morita in better physical condition, and Daniel Bragança returning after an 11-month break.

Nonetheless, there are obstacles for Levante. Despite the context, Kochorashvili's departure is not seen as likely. The midfielder does not intend to take a step back in his career, even if it is a loan without a purchase option, and his priority is to continue working to earn a place in Rui Borges' choices. The player remains confident in the coach's words, who has emphasized the importance of the entire squad and the possibility of any member being called to the starting eleven at any moment.

This season with Sporting, Giorgi Kochorashvili - valued at 6 million euros - has played 20 games with the green and white stripes: 13 in Liga Portugal Betclic, two in the Champions League, two in the League Cup, and another in the Cândido de Oliveira Super Cup. For the lions, the midfielder made two assists.
