Georgian star Georges Mikautadze, who is currently the competition’s top goal scorer with three goals, has been linked with a transfer after his impressive displays in Euro 2024.
As reported by transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano, who wrote on social media: “EXCL: AS Monaco have reached verbal agreement on personal terms with Georgia striker Georges Mikautadze.
“Monaco have also sent a proposal to Metz in order to agree on the fee, trying to anticipate other clubs… and get deal done before end of the Euros.”
Georgia are set to take on 2008 and 2012 winners Spain in the round of 16.
Speaking ahead of the match, manager Willy Sagnol said: “Spain is coming, Spain is probably the best team of the first round so it's another big challenge for us. For sure we're going to fight to the last minute as we have done since the beginning of the competition.
“It's still difficult to realise what we have done. It will probably happen when we will lose, and when we will go back to our homes and on holidays.
“Today I don't have a lot of words so I will try to stay basic and say that I'm so proud of the players because what an image they have shown of Georgia today... I feel very proud to be their manager.”
