The 23-year-old 'creative' player, one of the leading figures of the Italian champion last season, stood out from the weak performance that the Neapolitans have had this year, reaching this stage with 11 goals in Serie A, in addition to four scored during the qualification for the European Championship.

From the list released by the coach, the former French international Willy Sagnol -- whose final composition will have to be sent to UEFA by June 7 --, only two players who play in the Georgian championship are included, in the case of goalkeeper Giorgi Loria, from Dinamo Tbilissi, and forward Giorgi Tsitaishvili, from Dinamo Batumi.

The Georgian team, one of the debutants in a European Championship, along with Serbia (it will be the first participation as an independent nation, although it has inherited the results of Yugoslavia), reached the final phase after winning Path C of the play-offs, in which it eliminated Luxembourg (2-0), in the semi-finals, and Greece, in the final, this in the penalty shootout.

With the preparation scheduled to start next Tuesday, Georgia will play against Montenegro, on June 9, in a preparation match for the final phase, which will take place in Germany, between June 14 and July 14.

Georgia will be the third and last opponent of Portugal in Group F of Euro2024, on June 26, in Gelsenkirchen, and before that, the Georgians will face Turkey, on the 18th, in Dortmund, and the Czech Republic, on the 22nd, in Hamburg.
