Recent reports have claimed that 16-year-old Tornike Kvaratskhelia, the younger brother of Paris Saint-Germain’s Paris Saint-Germain star Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, has recently been given a trial in Munich at the FC Bayern Campus.
FC Bayern sporting director Chrostoph Freund was asked about the 16-year-old at a press conference on Friday and confirmed that he has been involved with the club’s youth setup.
“Yes, his brother has been training with us at the Campus, he's a talent. It's far too early to say whether he's as good as his brother, but he's a talented player and we'll see how it goes," Freund said.
A winger like his older brother, Tornike Kvaratskhelia featured in a trial match for Bayern’s U17 side on Tuesday, where he impressed with his technical ability and scored a goal, according to Bild.
Tornike Kvaratskhelia currently plays for Dinamo Tbilisi in his home country, Georgia.
Because Georgia is not part of the EU, he would only be eligible to officially join Bayern once he turns 18.
In the meantime, a loan move could be considered, potentially through one of the clubs connected to Bayern’s Red&Gold Football development network.
