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

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

The information is being reported by the newspaper Record, which states that, however, no formal contact has been made to Sporting’s SAD by the Spanish club, although the intention may materialize in the coming days.

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

Even so, 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’ plans. The player remains confident in the coach’s words, who has emphasized the importance of the entire squad and the possibility for any player to be called into the starting eleven at any moment.

This season with Sporting, Giorgi Kochorashvili – valued at 6 million euros – has already played 20 matches in the green and white stripes: 13 in Liga Portugal Betclic, two in the Champions League, two in the League Cup, and one in the Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira. For the Lions, the midfielder has made two assists.
