Georges Mikautadze was considered by Barcelona last summer after a successful first season at Villarreal, where he scored 16 goals in 44 appearances. The club's sporting director Deco investigated Mikautadze, but the interest did not progress further after discussions with manager Hansi Flick. Mikautadze's current season has been less successful, with only five starts in La Liga despite scoring five goals in all competitions. He has expressed disappointment with his current situation.

Mikautadze has stated that he is "disappointed" with his current situation, but feels "ready to go to a big club". He referenced Barcelona's interest in him last summer, saying it was "flattering" and motivating. Mikautadze is a fan of Barcelona, citing their past teams and players as influences. He did not rule out a potential move to the club.

While Mikautadze is open to a move to Barcelona, it remains uncertain whether the club will revive their interest in him. The decision would also depend on convincing manager Hansi Flick. Mikautadze's current situation and potential future at Villarreal are not explicitly stated, leaving the possibility of a transfer open.
