Luka Lochoshvili shortly before moving to 1. FC Nürnberg – What can we expect?

The football world is looking to Nuremberg because 1. FCN is about to make a promising signing: Georgian central defender Luka Lochoshvili, 27 years old, could soon be wearing the club's jersey. How Picture reports, this deal comes just in time for the upcoming training camp in South Tyrol, which takes place from July 13th to 20th. The people of Nuremberg have done very little on the transfer market in the past few weeks, but now the wind is picking up.

Luka Lochoshvili is currently under contract with Italian newcomer US Cremonese, where he is committed until 2026. In the second half of the season he was loaned to Salernitana Calcio, but was unable to prevent relegation there. He could now move to Nuremberg and sign a contract there that initially runs until 2026, with the possibility of an extension until 2029, provided he is used regularly. A transfer fee of around one million euros is estimated for the move.

Successful career and international experience

Lochoshvili is not an unknown quantity at FCN. The 1.92 meter tall defender brings a lot of experience with him. He can look back on 23 appearances for the Georgian national team, where he made a name for himself in both the U17 and senior teams. Most recently he was in action at Euro 2024 and received the “Order of Honor” from the Georgian President. Such an award speaks of his importance in the team and his ability on the field.

During his career, Lochoshvili played two and a half years in the Austrian Bundesliga for Wolfsberger AC, where he presented himself as robust and strong in tackles. His style of play is characterized by good dribbling, a confident build-up of play and strong defensive heading skills. He could therefore be a valuable reinforcement for the Nuremberg defense and give the team new impetus.

An exciting new chapter

The upcoming medical check in Nuremberg is scheduled to take place this morning and the fans are excited to see whether the transfer will actually take place. A player like Lochoshvili could be exactly the right man to take 1. FC Nürnberg's defense to a new level. At a time when the club is looking for new talent, this move could be the first step towards a successful season. It remains to be hoped that the negotiations will be concluded soon and the player can start training straight away.
