A year ago, Georges Mikautadze no longer knew where to turn. Author of a beautiful second half of the season with FC Metz, the striker was flirted by several stables during the transfer window. Two in particular. Courted by AS Monaco, who wanted new blood, the Georgian had a big penchant for Olympique Lyonnais. It must be said that there was not really a match between the princely team and the Rhone club which was its training club and at heart. After long negotiations, he was finally able to go home on July 18.
“Olympique Lyonnais is proud to announce the return of Georges Mikautadze to his heart club. The Georgian international striker signed a 4 -year contract, binding it to OL until June 30, 2028 “could we read on the press release. A document in which we also learned that “This transfer, concluded with FC Metz, amounts to € 18.5 million to which price supplements can be added for a maximum of € 4.5 million, as well as a profit-sharing on a possible future transfer to height, if necessary, € 1 million and 15% on the added value that would be cleared.”
Clubs follow his case behind the scenes
After having groped at his beginnings, the 24 -year -old player, who competed with Captain Alexandre Lacazette, then found his marks. He finished his first exercise with an honorable assessment of 17 goals and 9 assists in 47 appearances in all competitions. While the post of holder is promised to the tip of the Lyon attack after the general's departure, the Georgian is the subject of some approaches this summer. It must be said that the situation of the Gones, relegated to Ligue 2 by the DNCG, has put several clubs on alert.
According to our information, Mikautadze appears in the list of attackers followed by the Eintracht Frankfurt in the event of Hugo Ekitike departure. But that's not all. Some English sources assure us that Sunderland, which has been promoted to the Premier League, monitors its case closely. Studies in Türkiye as well as in Saudi Arabia are also on the lookout for the native of Lyon we were told. Linked to Gones for another three years, Georges Mikautadze will undoubtedly be targeted by other clubs if OL were to evolve in L2. Which would be a heartbreaker for this lover of Olympique Lyonnais, who is still in Lyon next season.
