The story was beautiful. That of a child in the country, who had failed to win on his land, back at the club by the big door after having been able to unravel elsewhere.
But for Georges Mikautadze, it is again time to leave Olympique Lyonnais. Pushed towards the exit by its leaders, who needed to make a last big sale before the end of the transfer window, the Georgian international will take the direction of Villarreal.
Sunday evening, the former FC Metz player made moving farewells at the Groupama Stadium, and the Lyon people. This Monday, OL confirms the amount of its transfer: 36 million euros, including 5 million euros in bonuses. A total to which will be added a 10 % profit-sharing on a possible future capital gain.
