Only one year after his arrival, can Zuriko Davitashvili leave AS Saint-Etienne? The question has fueled all the debates since the relegation of the Greens in Ligue 2 after a nightmarish season.

Like the young Belgian scorer Lucas Stassin, Davitashvili emerges as an essential link in the Eirik Horneland device. But its market value places the club management in a delicate posture.

Two options are possible: keep the Georgian offensive midfielder, who can also rely on his experience in Ligue 2 after his performances with the Girondins de Bordeaux, or yield it in the event of an attractive offer.

The Greens determined on the Davitashvili case

According to several Turkish sources, Besiktas made Zuriko Davitashvili his priority for this summer transfer window. The Istanbul club would even have started to advance its prayers by formulating a first offer to the Directorate of the Greens.

For the moment, it would remain determined to keep its factor X. ASSE wants to give itself all the means to go directly to Ligue 1 after its relegation. Based on an element like Davitashvili would be a first strong signal.
