Getafe and Sevilla are racing to sign Sporting de Portugal midfielder Giorgio Kochorashvili. The 27-year-old, who shone at Levante before his €5.5 million move to Lisbon, has caught the attention of both La Liga clubs. According to Portuguese media, Getafe has already requested a loan, while Sevilla has also contacted Sporting, who seek a buyout clause to recoup their investment.
What does Getafe bring to this race?
Getafe, who finished the 2025 season in eighth place with 41 points (12 wins, 5 draws, 14 losses), is looking to strengthen its midfield. Kochorashvili, with his La Liga experience, could be a key piece for Luis García Plaza's team. The club has shown concrete interest by requesting a loan, which could give them an edge in negotiations.
Why is Sevilla also interested?
Sevilla, who lost Batista Mendy and Nemanja Gudelj this transfer window, urgently needs midfield reinforcements. Kochorashvili's versatile profile would fit perfectly into Luis García Plaza's system. The Andalusian club has contacted Sporting, but the inclusion of a buyout clause could complicate the deal.
What does Sporting de Portugal say?
Sporting, who paid €5.5 million for Kochorashvili, wants to recoup their investment. According to 'A Bola', the Portuguese club demands a buyout clause in any loan agreement. This could be an obstacle for Getafe, who are looking for a reinforcement without a long-term financial commitment.
Getafe's next match will be against Rayo Vallecano on February 21, 2027, a key clash to maintain their league position. Meanwhile, the battle for Kochorashvili remains open.
