Sporting seek loan with option to buy for Alvalade flop | OneFootball

Sporting intend to put Giorgi Kochorashvili on the market in the next transfer window. The Georgian midfielder, who arrived at Alvalade in 2025, failed to establish himself in the first team as expected and is now expected to move on to another competitive experience.

The Lions’ strategy is a loan deal with an option to buy, allowing the club to try to recover the investment made in the player, according to newspaper 'A Bola'. The midfielder cost around €5.5 million, arriving from Levante in a move that ultimately did not have the desired impact.

However, as our newspaper exclusively reported, Levante are interested in Rui Borges’ player, but the footballer is only considering a move to Spain if the Valencia side can secure survival in the top flight.

At the moment, Luís Castro’s team are in second-to-last place in the Spanish league, with 33 points, with four matches still to play. Therefore, there will only be updates regarding the Georgian at the end of the current season.

This season for Sporting, Giorgi Kochorashvili - valued at €5 million - has already featured in 25 matches: 17 in Liga Portugal Betclic, three in the Portuguese Cup, two in the Champions League, two in the League Cup and one in the Super Cup Cândido de Oliveira. In 964 minutes, the midfielder has registered two assists.
