Leonino exclusive! Player may return to La Liga after Sporting setback | OneFootball

Giorgi Kochorashvili could be on his way out of Sporting just one season after arriving at Alvalade. Signed from Levante for a fixed fee of 5 million euros, plus 1.5 million in add-ons, the Georgia international failed to establish himself as expected and is now among the players who could leave Rui Borges’ squad in this transfer window.

but the move ultimately did not go through due to the physical issues affecting Sporting’s midfield at that stage of the season.

The situation is now different. While Sporting prepare a major overhaul of their midfield, Levante have secured survival in La Liga — a factor that our newspaper had already reported as decisive, in a Leonino Exclusive — a scenario that significantly strengthens the financial capacity of the Valencia-based club. The difference in TV revenue could represent an additional windfall of around 40 million euros for the Spaniards.

In addition to the clubs’ willingness, there is also the player’s own position. Giorgi Kochorashvili still has a strong connection to the city of Valencia, where he lived for six seasons, split between five years with Levante and one loan spell at Castellón.

If talks progress in the coming weeks, the most likely model would be a loan move. Sporting’s officials are open to that scenario and could even include a future purchase option. What is certain is that the Georgia international remains under contract with Sporting until June 2030, so any departure will always depend on an agreement between all parties involved.
