Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, SSC Napoli’s 23-year-old striker under contract until 2027, was the target of a concrete offer from Paris Saint-Germain during the 2024 summer mercato, but his club didn’t open the door despite pressure from his entourage. PSG came back this winter, and this time the Neapolitan club opened up to the Georgian’s desire to leave. Corriere della Sera and Il Mattino report this morning.
“For CorSera, Napoli hopes 80M for #Kvaratskhelia, who will sign a five-year contract (11M salary) with PSG.Contact expected between the two clubs this week to complete the deal.”
Il Mattino: #PSG offer 55-60M to recruit #Kvaratskhelia, with whom an agreement (salary of 8.5M over 4 years) has already been reached.De Laurentiis is still in the USA and should be back at the end of the week. Price set: 90M. Skriniar and Kolo Muani loans rejected, Zhegrova tracked…
“Il Mattino points out that Napoli turned down a 220M offer from #PSG last summer for the Osimhen-Kvara duo. According to the daily, Jorge Mendes is behind Kvara’s surprising desire to leave in January.Watch out for Manchester United”
Yesterday, the talk was all about optimism and a price tag of around 70 million euros. Not least in the French media.Now the price is rising to 90 million euros, with Manchester United still in the hunt.
So how do we know exactly where we stand? Until we have official news. Kvaratskhelia is definitely on his way out of Napoli. PSG seem to be well positioned, and there’s every reason to be optimistic. But beware, there’s nothing to do yet. And the price is becoming difficult to read, with a range now between 60 and 90 million. A considerable gap.
