Sporting: Kochorashvili Awaits Clearance for Seville Move

Giorgi Kochorashvili continues to await authorization to travel to Seville, where he is scheduled to undergo essential medical examinations, sign his contract, and join coach José Luis García's squad. The terms of the agreement between Sevilla and Sporting for the midfielder's transfer are set: the Spanish club will pay an immediate €4.5 million, with additional performance-based add-ons. However, a few procedural details still need to be finalized before the Georgian international is cleared for travel.

Sevilla's initial aim was to have the player available for Saturday's match against Athletic Bilbao, but this scenario now appears highly improbable. Nevertheless, the deal is not considered to be at risk, and according to A BOLA, the athlete is already handling the logistical arrangements for his departure from Lisbon.
From the outset of negotiations, Sporting's board intended to recoup a significant portion of the €5.5 million invested in the player last year from Levante. Although the Spanish club initially showed strong resistance due to financial restrictions imposed by LaLiga, they ultimately conceded to the green and white's demands.

The 27-year-old footballer faced considerable adaptation challenges at Alvalade. Despite making 26 appearances in the 2025/26 season, he rarely featured as a starter. A return to Spain, the country where he previously made his mark, presents an ideal opportunity to revitalize his career.
