Bernardo Ribeiro names the Sporting player who fell short | OneFootball

Giorgi Kochorashvili failed to adapt to the Sporting squad. This is the view of Bernardo Ribeiro, who believes the Club led by Frederico Varandas will have to reshuffle many pieces for the 2026/2027 season.

"Sporting have a tough restructuring ahead. The club hierarchy believes the team has reached the end of a cycle, and major changes in the dressing room are expected. Some because their Champions League campaign whetted appetites regarding several players (Maxi, Hjulmand or Trincão), others due to clear failure to adapt to the club, such as 'Kocho'", he wrote in his opinion piece for Record newspaper.

The director of the same media outlet warns that the Lions need to be sharp in the market. "On top of that, Rui Borges needs help when it comes to managing a dressing room that must feel it is all part of one whole... and that anyone can play at any time. For all these reasons, the lion needs a higher success rate in the market than this season. Especially because if Porto are already strong, they will probably become even stronger", he warns.

. The Georgian international has failed to establish himself at Alvalade since arriving at the Lions. Getafe are one of the clubs interested in the midfielder, along with Rayo Vallecano, Girona and Levante.

This season for Sporting, Giorgi Kochorashvili - valued at 5 million euros - has already played 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 Cândido de Oliveira Super Cup..
