A name already linked to the Rossoneri club in the past could come back into focus for the new summer session of the transfer market: a price that is not excessive.
The Milan will make some changes in its offensive department and the most awaited purchase is that of a new starting number 9. After the farewell of Olivier Giroud, a major coup is expected in the role. But there could also be two center forwards to land at Milanello.
In recent days there has been talk of the probability that Luka Jovic you renew the contract expiring at the end of June. Now the Serbian striker is involved in the European Championship with the national team and until he has signed nothing should be taken for granted. Twists are always around the corner. Even if Milan are linked to some first choices for the attack as Joshua Zirkzee of Bologna, Artem Dovbyk of Girona e Santiago Gimenez of Feyenoord, there is no shortage of alternative names of strikers who could be good reserves.
From the European Championships to Milan, Georgian coup: opportunity at a bargain price
From this perspective, we cannot exclude that it may also be on the list Georges Mikautadze, a 23-year-old Georgian who the Devil has already followed in the 2022/2023 season (24 goals and 9 assists in 40 appearances). Rumors had arrived from France about an offer of around 10 million euros presented to Metzthen in Ligue 2 and promoted to Ligue 1 also thanks to his contribution.
Then nothing happened and the player moved toAjax for about 16 million euros. The experience in Amsterdam was very negative (0 goals in 9 games) and already in the winter transfer window he returned to Metz for 13 million. The return to France did him good: 14 goals and 4 assists in 22 appearances. But he was unable to avoid the team’s relegation, which came out worst in the play-off against Saint Etienne.
Mikautadze is looking for a new club for next season and is also focusing onEuropean to find good accommodation. In the first match against Turkey, lost 3-1, it was he who scored the goal that temporarily made it 1-1. Several clubs are monitoring him and can take advantage of Metz’s relegation to secure a contract for him not excessive price. In Italy it was compared to Naples, Lazio And Romebut he could also remain in Ligue 1. Monaco and they want him Lyon.
The one in Lyon would be a return, that is the city where he was born (his family had fled from Georgia) and where he also spent years at youth level. After his first steps in Gerland, he joined the youth academy in 2008.OL and he was part of it until 2015. The club didn’t believe in him because of his physique (he was short and thin), so he went to Saint-Priest and in 2018 he received the call from Metz.
Not yet considered ready for the First Team, in the summer of 2020 he was sent on loan to the Belgian Serie B at Evening. Very good choice: 36 goals and 4 assists in 57 appearances in two seasons. First he contributed to the promotion to the Jupiler Pro League and then to the team’s salvation. Back at Metz, he showed that he was up to the task. The adventureAjax it didn’t go well not only through his fault, given that in Amsterdam he was often used out of position and the Lancers didn’t exactly have a great season.
