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. TuttoMercatoWeb assures us this Friday that a swap is possible with Marco Asensio (28-year-old midfielder/attacker).
“According to our editorial staff, one of the names that could be used as a bargaining chip is that of Marco Asensio, a player on his way to Paris.”
Instead, Milan Skriniar (29-year-old defender) has been mentioned as part of the deal, with some media replying that Napoli don’t want an exchange but rather the full amount (around 80 million euros). Skriniar could also be loaned out, while a defensive recruit is being sought. But Danilo (Juventus) would be the priority.
There is also talk of recruiting a striker to replace Kvaratskhelia, so Asensio could be an option. But there’s no certainty either. Napoli may have many other ideas, and there’s nothing to say the Spaniard is tempted. Even if it’s possible. Let’s wait and see.
