It was unexpected, but Georges Mikautadze is preparing to leave Olympique Lyonnais at the end of the summer transfer window. The Georgian striker will join the Villarreal CF against a check around 30 million euros, bonus included.

According to information from RMCthe former Messin went to Gones training camp this Saturday to say goodbye to his teammates. A moment charged with emotion for the player, unable to hold back his tears.

A choice dictated by OL finances

At the end of Groupama Ol Training Center, the emotion was still on the face of Mikautadze, who came to greet the Lyon supporters one last time. This is what we distinguish in a video published on X, formerly Twitter.

A departure that enrolled above all in the need for the Rhone club to respect its financial commitments to the DNCG and the UEFA. The fact remains that the intimate wish of the child of Lyon seemed to be quite different.
