Atalanta is monitoring Zuriko Davitashvili, a 25-year-old Georgian winger owned by Saint Etienne, as a low-cost option. He scored sixteen goals and provided five assists across all competitions in Ligue 2 for his club, which failed to gain promotion to the top French division. Although he is considered a talent, his valuation is much lower. A year ago, the player had been proposed to Bologna as a replacement for Ndoye. The winger, who has 54 caps and 7 goals for Georgia, has a contract with the French club until June 2028 and a current Transfermarkt market value of €12.00m. He has also been linked with Beşiktaş.
