A committed showdown
At 24, Davitashvili aspires to cross a CAP, ideally in a first division club, and if possible, engaged on the European scene. According to Market footballthe native of Tbilissi would have already started an showdown with the management of ASSE to force his departure.
Refusing to compete in the last two friendly games against Paris FC (0-3) and Cagliari (0-1), the former member of Rubin Kazan wanted to send a clear message to his leaders. Especially since its profile interests several training courses such as Stade Rennais, RC Strasbourg, FC Sevilla, Everton or Borussia Mönchengladbach.
