Zuriko Davitashvili transfer prospects dim as Olympiakos targets alternative

The transfer future of AS Saint-Étienne winger Zuriko Davitashvili has become uncertain as the transfer window approaches its close. Previously, Olympiakos was considered a strong potential suitor for the Georgian international, who has performed well in both Ligue 1 and Ligue 2.

However, reports indicate that Olympiakos may have shifted its focus toward signing Swiss international Rubén Vargas from Sevilla FC. Negotiations for Vargas are reportedly active, with an initial offer of approximately 12 million euros mentioned. This development significantly reduces the likelihood of Davitashvili's departure to the Greek club.

While Saint-Étienne values the player and may be forced to retain him if no other offers arrive, Davitashvili has reportedly shown signs of impatience regarding playing in Ligue 2. The player's valuation remains a key factor in any potential late-window negotiations.
