Leonino exclusive - Sporting could lose Kochorashvili, but a big “if” | OneFootball

Giorgi Kochorashvili is only considering a move to Levante if they manage to stay in La Liga, Leonino has learned. The Georgian midfielder’s former club is open to the possibility of bringing the player back, but he has clearly defined priorities.

At this stage, Levante are second from bottom in the Spanish league, with 33 points, with four matches left to play. As such, the Lions’ ‘number 14’ will only consider returning next season if survival is secured.

As a result of his failure to adapt to Alvalade, there is complete openness within Sporting’s structure to listen to potential offers for Kochorashvili during the next transfer window. However, Sporting’s intention is to fully recover their investment.

For now, the Georgian is behind Morten Hjulmand, Hidemasa Morita and Daniel Bragança in the pecking order of Rui Borges’ team — even behind João Simões, before he was sidelined again through injury. The fact that he still has not delivered has been noted by Levante, but the Spanish club is also unwilling to pay the €5.5 million set by Sporting.

This season for Sporting, Giorgi Kochorashvili — valued at €6 million — has already made 24 appearances in the green-and-white hoops: 16 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. In 952 minutes, the midfielder has recorded two assists.
