Georges Mikautadze has agreed on personal terms with the Ligue 1 side

AS Monaco have reached verbal agreement on personal terms with Georgia striker Georges Mikautadze, football expert Fabrizio Romano announced on Friday.

Mikautadze has already scored three goals in the European Championship, and the Ligue 1 side wanted to snatch him before the other giants noticed him.

Monaco have also sent a proposal to Metz in order to agree on the fee, trying to anticipate other clubs and get deal done before end of the Euros.

Previously, on Tuesday evening, L'Equipe reported that Mikautadze, 23, had made up his mind.

FC Metz had made the Georgian's loan from Ajax permanent earlier this month for a reported €13m fee. Now, he'll join Monaco for a €20m fee (plus €2m in bonuses).

Interestingly enough, it was Mikautadze himself who denied L'Equipe's report via his Instagram account the other day.

"Hello everyone, just a bit of news regarding my transfer. I still haven't made my choice regarding my future club. I will be delighted to announce my decision. Thank you everyone," he wrote.
