Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, the 23-year-old SSC Napoli striker under contract until 2027, was the target of a concrete offer from Paris Saint-Germain during the 2024 summer mercato, but his club did not open the door despite pressure from his entourage. Rumors of a Parisian attempt this winter are back. Corriere dello Sport claims this Friday that everything could happen very quickly.
“He’s close to PSG. He could leave as early as next week in exchange for around 80 million euros. Negotiations were in full swing in Milan on Wednesday, when sporting director Manna and Khvicha’s agent Mamuka Jugeli met for dinner at the Armani.
Napoli intend to collect at least 80 million, which is the basis for this negotiation. PSG, to cut costs, are also trying to include Milan Skriniar, whom Conte had at Inter, but the Azzurri insist on money. Money and stop.”
We remain cautious, as there has been no official confirmation yet. But all the media are pointing in the same direction, which is quite encouraging. Even so, things can change very quickly at the mercato. A dossier that arrives (or returns) suddenly with an agreement perhaps close at hand is more likely to come to fruition than rumours that last for months.
Let’s wait and see, as Napoli’s response could come in the next few days and help to clarify things. The transfer isn’t a foregone conclusion, but it’s not impossible that Kvaratskhelia could move closer to PSG relatively quickly.
