Leonino exclusive - Kochorashvili wanted, but bid irks Sporting | OneFootball

Levante views the possibility of ‘bringing back’ Giorgi Kochorashvili positively, but refuses to pay the amounts demanded by Sporting. According to our newspaper, in a Leonino Exclusive, the Spanish club wants to secure the midfielder’s return, but is unwilling to pay the €5.5 million set by the board to release the player.

As a result of his failure to adapt to Alvalade, there is complete openness within the green-and-white structure to listen to potential interested parties for the player during the next transfer window. However, Sporting’s intention is to fully recoup their investment.

For now, Kochorashvili is behind Morten Hjulmand, Hidemasa Morita, João Simões and Daniel Bragança in the pecking order of Rui Borges’ team. If the situation was already unfavorable, the latter’s return from injury and the Georgian’s recent absence due to physical problems have made his situation at Alvalade even more complicated.

If the possible departure of Hjulmand and Morita’s practically inevitable exit next summer could open up space for the 26-year-old player, the truth is that Sporting’s structure is not convinced by these first few months in the green-and-white hoops and is willing to find an alternative for the midfielder at the end of the season.

This season for Sporting, Giorgi Kochorashvili - valued at €6 million - has already made 22 appearances in the green-and-white hoops: 14 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. For the Lions, the midfielder has provided two assists.
