Roma have rekindled their interest in Olympique Lyonnais striker Georges Mikautadze as they explore options to bolster their attacking lineup. The Italian club’s inquiry comes amidst speculation about the potential departure of Eldor Shomurodov, prompting Roma to consider alternatives for their forward line.
Gianluca Di Marzio reports that Mikautadze, the 24-year-old Georgian international, has caught the attention of Roma’s sporting director with his performances this season. The young striker has made a notable impact in Ligue 1, featuring in 19 matches and contributing four goals and one assist. His European pedigree is also evident, with two goals in six Europa League appearances.
However, Lyon’s valuation of the player presents a significant hurdle for Roma. The French club has set a steep asking price of €30 million for Mikautadze, a figure that may prove challenging for the Giallorossi to meet, especially considering the current financial climate in football.
Roma’s interest in Mikautadze is not new, as the club had previously considered the striker during the summer transfer window when Daniele De Rossi was at the helm. The renewed inquiry suggests that Mikautadze remains a player of interest for Roma’s current management.
