What happened: Paris FC have signed 18-year-old Georgian midfielder Andria Kvirikadze to a three-year contract running through 2029. The Batumi-born teenager developed in the academy at Dinamo Tbilisi, the same club that produced current Paris Saint-Germain forward Kvicha Kvaratskhelia. Kvirikadze has yet to make his senior professional debut.
Why it matters: The move fits Paris FC's stated strategy of building the squad around high-ceiling young players who suit the club's long-term sporting project. Adding a Georgian prospect from the same pipeline as Kvaratskhelia gives the capital-city side a low-risk developmental bet as it looks to establish itself in Ligue 1.
By the numbers: Kvirikadze, 18, is a Georgia Under-17 international who featured in Dinamo Tbilisi's Youth League campaign last season, appearing as a substitute against Cypriot side AEK Larnaca. His contract runs until 2029.
What to watch: The midfielder will need to earn the trust of Liam Rosenior, widely expected to be confirmed as Paris FC's manager, to push for his first Ligue 1 minutes.
