Zuriko Davitashvili, a 24-year-old Georgian international winger, is eager to move to a first division team, ideally one participating in European competitions. He has chosen not to participate in friendly matches against Paris FC and Cagliari as a strategy to push for a transfer. Borussia Mönchengladbach is among the clubs expressing interest in him. Currently with AS Saint-Etienne, where he featured in 33 matches and netted 9 goals during the 2024-2025 season, he is reluctant to continue playing in Ligue 2, having already spent two seasons with Bordeaux from 2022 to 2024. His resolve to leave has resulted in a standoff with the management of AS Saint-Etienne, who wish to keep their key players. In addition to Borussia Mönchengladbach, clubs such as Rennes, Strasbourg, FC Séville, and Everton are also reportedly interested in acquiring Davitashvili. His contract with the French club is valid until June 2028, and Transfermarkt estimates his market value to be €10.00m.
