In a dramatic twist that has stunned Watford fans worldwide, Giorgi Chakvetadze, one of the club’s standout performers this season, has reportedly handed in a formal transfer request, citing growing frustration behind the scenes. Sources close
to the team revealed that tensions have been building for weeks, with the Georgian midfielder allegedly feeling “undervalued and overlooked” despite his crucial role in Watford’s recent success.
The news broke late Tuesday evening, catching both management and supporters completely off guard. Chakvetadze, often described by head coach Javi
Gracia as the “heart and soul” of the squad, has been instrumental in the Hornets’ strong campaign — making his sudden decision all the more shocking.
Insiders claim a heated exchange took place during a closed-door meeting at the training ground, after which Chakvetadze informed club officials of his intention to leave in the upcoming transfer window.
One teammate, speaking under anonymity, described the atmosphere as “tense and emotional,” adding that “nobody saw this coming.”
Fans have already taken to social media demanding answers from the club hierarchy, with hashtags like #KeepChakvetadze and #WatfordWakeUp trending within hours. Many are calling on Gracia and the board to resolve the issue immediately, warning that losing the midfielder could derail Watford’s momentum entirely.
