The Mercato of Olympique Lyonnais will be hectic in the coming days. In the obligation to replenish the club's funds in order to collect the 200 million euros requested by the DNCG to succeed in maintaining itself in Ligue 1, the Lyon management will separate from several important elements from its workforce to avoid relegation.
After formalizing Said Benrahma and Johann Lepenant sales, another Gones player could leave the club in the coming days. These are Georges Mikautadze. Under contract with OL until June 2028, he could fold a luggage much earlier than expected.
Despite a successful first season on the part of the Georgian (17 goals and 11 assists in 47 matches), OL would not be against the idea of separating from its attacker three years before the end of his contract. With a market value of 22 million euros, it is difficult to imagine that, in the current need, the club can refuse a transfer to the surroundings of this sum.
Direction Roma for Mikautadze?
Courters, the former Messin is not lacking. But it would be more of the coast of AS Rome that the player could engage. Indeed, the Gazzetta dello Sport revealed this Friday that the Italian club would have made the Georgian its priority. According to this source, negotiations between OL and Roma is on track.
Only downside, the price of the transaction. There Gazzetta dello Sport Indicates that the Lyonnais would require more than twenty million euros while the Louve would have made an offer up to 18 million euros. While the Giallorossi would have made Georges Mikautadze a priority, OL can hope that the Italians align with demand, which could do the business of the Rhone club, in great difficulty.
