Khvicha Kvaratskhelia was one of the match winners for Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League semi-final against FC Bayern. The people of Munich have their younger brother on their radar.
Will a Kvaratskhelia storm for FC Bayern in the future? In Munich’s lost Champions League semi-final against defending champions Paris Saint-Germain, everyone could see what an outstanding footballer Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is. The 25-year-old Georgian scored two goals for PSG in a 5-4 win in the first leg. And in the 1-1 draw in the second leg, he prepared the visitors’ goal in an exemplary manner through fellow striker Ousmane Dembélé.
Kwarazchelia’s 16-year-old brother Tornike is currently at the Bayern Campus, the German champions’ youth academy. He is spotted.
Bayern’s sports director Christoph Freund said at a press conference on Friday: “Yes, I can confirm that the boy is there. He trained with us.” Freund then commented on the teenager’s prospects: “He’s a young lad, he has talent. Whether he’s as good as his brother, who is outstanding, a world-class player, would be too much to say. But he’s a talented young player and we’ll see what happens next.”
The two-footed Tornike Kvaratskhelia, currently active for Dinamo Tbilisi II, is a winger like his famous brother. He also plays for the Georgian U17 national team. Other European clubs are also said to be interested. His older brother Khvicha is said to have auditioned for Bayern in April 2018.
Freund only commented on the basics of squad planning for the coming season. The focus is “that we don’t want to have a squad that is too large.” People discuss, “where can we improve, what else could help the team. I think this is a very complex topic.”
