Done Deal: Sporting nets 4.5 million euros for surplus player

Giorgi Kochorashvili is set to join Sevilla in a deal that, according to A BOLA, will immediately inject 4.5 million euros into Sporting's coffers.

Negotiations progressed favorably in recent hours, and Sporting has now resolved the situation on two fronts: while the Georgian midfielder was not part of the plans for the new season, the Lions have secured a significant portion of the 5.5 million euros invested in him during the 2025 transfer window from Levante.

In addition to the fixed fee, a variable amount will be added, contingent on the player's individual performance and the collective success of Jose Luis Garcia's team.

There's even a possibility that Kochorashvili will travel to southern Spain as early as Thursday to undergo the necessary medical examinations, sign his contract, and become available for the Nervión side's upcoming fixture against Athletic Bilbao.

This outcome is favorable to both clubs and aligns with the player's aspirations. A return to Spain – where he built his career and gained recognition – was always a top priority for the midfielder, while also remaining close to Portugal, his girlfriend's home country.

Known as Captain America for his goal celebrations, the number 14 never had the chance to replicate the gesture for the Lions, as he failed to score in any of his 26 appearances during the 2025/26 season.
