Bayern Munich closes in on signing Khvicha Kvaratskhelia's younger brother

Media reports on Tuesday indicated that German football club Bayern Munich is closely monitoring the young player Tornike Kvaratskhelia, aged 16, who is the younger brother of French Paris Saint-Germain star Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.

The official Georgian edition of the famous Italian sports newspaper "La Gazzetta dello Sport" reported that Tornike currently plays in the Dinamo Tbilisi academy. The player has played 6 international matches with the Georgia under-17 national team, and is now on the verge of being promoted to the first team, having participated in training with the team over the past few days.

First appearance with the first team

On the second of May, Tornike, born in Tbilisi, took an important step in his career when he joined the first team squad for the first time during a Premier League match against Dinamo Batumi. Although he remained on the substitutes' bench throughout the match, this experience was the first of its kind for the 16-year-old player, and he is expected to get more opportunities in the coming months.

Italian competition and Belgian interest

A few days ago, the Italian press reported that Juventus and Napoli are competing to sign the young player, and Belgian clubs have also expressed interest in him. However, these clubs appear to be behind in the race, as "La Gazzetta" reported that Tornike traveled to Munich after his first appearance with the Dinamo Tbilisi first team, to meet with Bayern Munich officials.

The same source clarified that this visit was an initial contact, as the player toured the German club's facilities, which has shown serious interest in signing him.
