Giorgi Chanturia (Georgian: გიორგი ჭანტურია|tr, in Georgian pronounced as /ɡioɾɡi tʃʼantʼuɾia/; born 11 April 1993) is a Georgian former professional footballer who played as a winger.
Chanturia began his career on Saburtalo Tbilisi, and was loaned to Barcelona in June 2009.[1] He was filled into Barça's Juvenil B squad, and scored 11 goals to help the Catalans to the league title.[2]
In August 2010, after being linked with Chelsea,[3] Chanturia signed with Vitesse Arnhem.[4] In April 2011 he signed a three-year deal with the club.[5]
Chanturia made his competitive debut for Vitesse on the opening day of the 2011–12 Eredivisie season, as a starter in their 0–0 away draw against ADO Den Haag on 7 August.[6] He scored his first goal for the Arnhem side in his second official match, against VVV-Venlo in a 4–0 win.
In December 2012, Chanturia was loaned to Alania Vladikavkaz until the end of the season.[7] He returned to Vitesse at the end of the season, and was reintegrated to first-team squad for the 2013–14 season.
On 19 February 2014, CFR Cluj confirmed the signing of Chanturia from Vitesse for an undisclosed fee.[8]
On 12 June 2014, Chanturia joined Hellas Verona from Cluj.[9]
However, in September Chanturia returned to Cluj on loan with Hellas sporting director Scala Sogliano stating that the club had "decided to give [Chanturia] the opportunity to find his best form" and that Chanturia wanted "his debut with the Verona [to live] up to expectations".[10]
On 25 September 2015, 2. Bundesliga club MSV Duisburg announced their signing of free agent Chanturia on a contract running until the end of the season including the option for further two years.[11] [12]
On 5 July 2016, Chanturia moved to Russia, signing with Ural Yekaterinburg.[13] In April 2018 he suffered an ACL injury,[14] it took him six months to recover and he could not regain his squad position after that. On 18 January 2019, he was released from his Ural contract by mutual consent.[15]
Chanturia made his first international appearance for Georgia in a friendly match against Liechtenstein on 5 March 2014. He scored only 25 minutes into his debut.
