According to French media outlet L’Équipe, Lyon is preparing to hijack the transfer of Georgian forward Mikautadze from Monaco.
The report states that Metz player Mikautadze arrived in Monaco last Saturday with the intention of completing a medical arranged by Monaco. Previously, several media outlets indicated that Ligue 2 club Metz had accepted a €25 million transfer fee from Monaco. However, the truth is that Mikautadze has refused to sign on the dotted line.
This is because Mikautadze has secretly agreed to a five-year contract with his former club, Olympique Lyonnais. It is reported that to convince the Georgian to return, Lyon’s management pulled out all the stops. Although he may face competition from Lacazette, the former Arsenal striker only has one year left on his contract with Lyon. Lyon hopes that Mikautadze can replace Lacazette as the focal point of their attack and have offered him a long-term contract.
Currently, Lyon is preparing to start negotiations with Metz. Lyon is very confident in completing the hijack of the deal from Monaco.
