Sunderland could seal deal in the coming days as Journalist revealed that there is an offer on the table for €18m player
Sunderland are among the clubs in the race to sign Lyon star Georges Mikautadze this summer, according to Tutto Juve.
The striker left FC Metz for the Ligue 1 club a year ago and impressed last season, scoring 17 goals and registering 11 assists from 47 games.
His impressive performances haven’t gone unnoticed as Sunderland, Juventus, Eintracht Frankfurt and clubs from Turkey and Saudi Arabia are all interested parties.
The Black Cats want to improve Régis Le Bris’ squad, after securing a promotion to the top flight. They have completed the signing of midfielder Habib Diarra from RC Strasbourg and are looking at the French market for Mikautadze.
Sunderland view the Georgia international as ideal for their system and have made him a priority target.
Tutto Juve states the Premier League newcomers have made ‘initial concrete contact’ to try and sign the 24-year-old in this window.
Despite interest from Juventus, Eintracht Frankfurt and clubs from Turkey and Saudi, the report claims Sunderland could have a ‘decisive advantage’. This is because of Le Bris and his project at the Stadium of Light.
