Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, the 23-year-old SSC Napoli striker under contract until 2027, had been the target of a concrete offer from Paris Saint-Germain during the 2024 summer mercato, but his club had not opened the door despite pressure from his entourage. This winter, PSG managed to reach an agreement that would be in the region of €70 million plus bonuses. Corriere dello Sport reports that the player is due to leave for Paris this Tuesday. The agreement between PSG and Napoli has been reached. His contract is expected to pay €8.5 million for 5 years.
“| Khvicha Kvaratskhelia devrait s’envoler ce soir depuis l’aéroport de Capodichino vers Paris !
Un accord a été trouvé entre les deux clubs : 70 M€ + 5 M€ de bonus !
Il signera un contrat de 5 ans avec un salaire annuel de 8,5 M€ !”
It’s a choice deal for PSG. Everyone will have their own opinion on the price in relation to the player’s pedigree. Of course, those who think that the player is ultimately rather average will say that it’s expensive and mock PSG’s choice. We can also imagine PSG targeting players the coach wants, who are versatile and bring added value.
Such is the case with Kvaratskhelia. Although he has yet to prove his consistency, he has already shown that he can be an important part of a strong team. Just as he has already shown that he can carry a team almost single-handedly. In the end, his salary is quite low, as PSG continues to work on its new project with decent salaries that don’t undermine the club’s equilibrium.
