Sporting and Sevilla Accelerate Kochorashvili Talks This Week

The transfer of Giorgi Kochorashvili to Sevilla is expected to see significant progress this week. The Andalusian club has made the Georgian international a top priority and is now more receptive to making a permanent move for the 27-year-old midfielder.

While Sevilla's interest is concrete, the terms of the deal have been the main sticking point. The standoff stems from Sporting's demand for an immediate sale – to recoup the €5.5 million invested in his acquisition from Levante – while Sevilla faces severe constraints due to financial restrictions imposed by LaLiga.

Nevertheless, there's a strong belief that the impasse will be overcome. Sevilla coach Luis García views the player as the ideal replacement for Swiss international Djibril Sow, who moved to Genoa for €4 million.
Despite a season that fell short of expectations (26 games and 992 minutes), the midfielder left a strong impression in Spain, excelling at Levante where he earned the nickname "Captain America" for his goal celebrations.

For personal reasons, the player also prefers a return to Spain, maintaining proximity to Portugal, his girlfriend's home country.
The transfer now hinges on a final agreement between the clubs, as Getafe and Deportivo also monitor the player's situation.
