Tornike Kvaratskhelia shines in European debut for Dinamo Tbilisi

Sixteen‑year‑old Tornike Kvaratskhelia, the younger brother of PSG forward Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, made his first start in a UEFA Conference League second‑round qualifier on 23 July 2026. Playing for Dinamo Tbilisi against Lithuanian side Zalgiris Vilnius, he featured for 68 minutes and helped his team secure a 3‑0 home victory, creating several clear chances and drawing frequent fouls.

His performance, described as reminiscent of his older brother’s electric wing play, quickly went viral on social media. Dinamo coach Temur Ketsbaia praised his speed, dribbling and two‑footed ability, suggesting the youngster could surpass his sibling’s achievements. Scouts from Bayern Munich and several Italian clubs have already been linked to the prospect, while FIFA regulations on transfers of minors were noted as a potential hurdle for any immediate move abroad.

The debut has raised Tornike’s profile across European football circles, with his technical qualities and composure drawing significant attention despite his age.
