German giants Bayern Munich have confirmed their interest in 16-year-old Dinamo Tbilisi winger Tornike Kvaratskhelia following a successful trial, while reports from TeamTalk claim Premier League rivals Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur are also monitoring the teenager's progress.
Bayern Munich trial and the non-EU transfer barrier
Kvaratskhelia, the younger brother of Paris Saint-Germain forward Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, recently spent time at the Bayern Munich campus. During his trial, the left-sided winger featured in a friendly match for Bayern's Under-17 side against a Global Academy selection, scoring one goal in a 3-0 victory. His performance caught the eye of club officials in Bavaria.
Speaking to Goal, Bayern Munich sporting director Christoph Freund confirmed the club's interest. "Yes, his brother trained with us at our campus; he has talent," Freund said. "Whether he's as good as his brother is too much to say. But he's a talented player, and we'll see how things develop."
However, any immediate transfer is complicated by FIFA regulations. Because Georgia is not an EU member state, Kvaratskhelia cannot officially transfer to a European club until his 18th birthday in 2028. To secure his signature early, interested clubs may look to negotiate a pre-contract agreement or use partner clubs in their global networks to facilitate a temporary pathway.
Premier League interest and senior breakthrough
While Bayern have established direct contact, TeamTalk reports that Chelsea and Tottenham are tracking the winger's situation. These Premier League links remain unconfirmed by sources close to the player, but both London clubs are heavily invested in recruiting elite global youth talent.
Kvaratskhelia's profile is rising rapidly in his homeland, where he was recently included in the Dinamo Tbilisi senior squad for the first time. Mirroring his older brother's explosive style on the left flank, his developmental pathway at Tbilisi is being closely watched by scouts across Europe as clubs prepare for a highly competitive recruitment battle ahead of his eligibility date in 2028.
