In a move that has caught the attention of football fans across Europe, Bayern Munich have confirmed that Tornike Kvaratskhelia—the 16-year-old brother of PSG star Khvicha Kvaratskhelia—is currently training with the Bundesliga champions. The young winger, who plays for Dynamo Tbilisi, is on trial with Bayern's youth setup, and the club is weighing up a potential move.
Bayern's sporting director Christoph Freund addressed the news during a press conference on Friday, offering a cautious but optimistic assessment. "Yes, I can confirm the lad is here and training with us," Freund said. "He's got talent. To say he's as good as his brother, who is outstanding and a world-class player, would be a bit much. But he's a talented young player. We'll have to wait and see how things pan out."
The timing of this trial is particularly intriguing, coming just days after Khvicha Kvaratskhelia tormented Bayern's defense in the Champions League semi-finals, helping PSG knock the German giants out of the competition. The Georgian playmaker's dazzling performances left a lasting impression on the Bayern hierarchy—and now, it seems, they're taking a closer look at the family's next generation.
For a club like Bayern, known for developing young talent through their academy, signing Tornike could be a savvy long-term investment. While he's still raw compared to his world-class brother, the potential is clearly there. Whether he follows in Khvicha's footsteps remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: the Kvaratskhelia name is now firmly on the radar in Munich.
