Sporting's objective is to, at least, recover the investment of 5.5 million euros made on 27-year-old Georgian central midfielder Giorgi Kochorashvili's transfer from Levante in the previous summer. There are no concrete offers for a permanent transfer of Kochorashvili yet. If no purchase proposal arises, Sporting should be open to a loan deal with an option to buy in 2027. His contract with the Portuguese club runs until 2030. His current market value is €4.00m, according to Transfermarkt. Kochorashvili has 26 caps and 4 goals for Georgia. Several clubs have been recently linked with the player, including Panathinaikos, PAOK, and Celta de Vigo.
