Georges Mikautadze
Georges Mikautadze (Order of Honor) (Georgian: გიორგი მიქაუტაძე Giorgi Mikautadze; born 31 October 2000) is a professional footballer who plays as a forward for La Liga club Villarreal. Born in France, he plays for the Georgia national team.
Mikautadze took his first steps in football at FC Gerland before joining the Lyon youth academy. In 2016, he moved to Metz's football academy.
Mikautadze made his professional debut with Metz in a 4–1 Ligue 1 loss to Nice on 7 December 2019. On 10 December 2019, he signed a four-year deal with Metz, which was his first professional contract. He struggled to make an impact in his first senior season, playing mostly for the reserve team.
In June 2020, Mikautadze was one of six Metz players to join Belgian First Division B side Seraing on loan. After his first nine matches with Seraing, he had scored 15 times, including four on his debut against Lommel. Overall, with 19 goals he became a joint topscorer of the season. He netted three goals in an aggregate 6–3 play-off victory over Waasland-Beveren. For his contribution to Seraing's successful league campaign, Mikautadze was named in Team of the Season and was awarded the Métallo d'Or, the title annually given to the best Seraing player, after the fans had voted for him.
On 30 August 2021, he returned to Seraing on another loan, with the club now promoted to the Belgian top tier. The team ended up in the relegation zone, although it remained in the league due to the only goal scored by Mikautadze in the play-offs against Molenbeek.
In the summer of 2022, Mikautadze returned to Metz. After being a nominee for the award in August, by March 2023 Mikautadze was the leading goalscorer of the league, and the National Union of Professional Players (UNPF) named him Player of the Month. Having added nine more goals in April and May, he was selected in Team of the Week six times in a row during this period. By the end of the season he was the top goalscorer and best player of the league.
With Metz promoted to Ligue 1 in 2023–24, Mikautadze started the new season by scoring twice against Marseille and Clermont and providing an assist in the opening game against Rennes.[citation needed]
On 30 August 2023, Eredivisie club Ajax announced the signing of Mikautadze on a five-year contract for a reported fee of €16 million, potentially rising to €19 million with add-ons. He made his debut, starting and playing the full game, in a 0–0 draw away at Fortuna Sittard. Mikautadze made his European debut in Ajax's 2–0 defeat against Brighton & Hove Albion at the Amsterdam Arena. During the first half of the 2023–24 campaign, Mikautadze made just nine appearances in all competitions for Ajax, failing to score a goal.
