Georges Mikautadze Joins Lyon in €18.5M Deal

Georges Mikautadze, the Georgian forward who impressed at Euro 2024, has made a triumphant return to Olympique Lyonnais from Metz for 18.5 million euros on a four-year contract. Lyon's significant spending in pre-season, exceeding 100 million euros, includes signings like central defender Niakhaté and midfielder Mangala. Mikautadze's dazzling performances at the Euros and his 13 league goals for Metz attracted interest from clubs like Monaco, but Lyon secured his signature until 2028, emphasizing his ties to the club's youth system and potential add-ons in the deal.
