Barcelona tried to sign Mikautadze

Villarreal's Georgian striker Georges Mikoutadze could end up in Barcelona, ​​reports insider Ekrem Konur. According to the source, the Catalan club made an inquiry about the 25-year-old footballer, but Villarreal demanded 70 million euros for his transfer. It is claimed that the "Blaugranas" refused the deal because the price was too high. Villarreal bought Mikoutadze from Lyon for 31 million euros last summer. As part of the Spanish club, the forward took part in 43 matches in all tournaments, scoring 15 goals and 7 assists. Mikautadze's current employment contract with Villarreal runs until the summer of 2031.
