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 didn’t open the door despite pressure from his entourage. There is a Parisian attempt this winter. Journalist Gianluca Di Marzio claims that PSG have moved towards the transfer and Milan Skriniar (29-year-old defender) could go the other way, but not in a direct swap.
“Paris Saint-Germain are interested in the Georgian and have made concrete approaches today, Thursday January 9.
The French club would like to offer money and compensation, but for the moment the Azzurri don’t want any players in exchange.
In this context, the situation of Milan Skriniar, one of the main candidates for the Georgian’s departure, is being evaluated. Napoli do not want him in return but would only take him on loan, although the priority at the moment remains Danilo, for whom the contractual resolution with Juventus could be unblocked.”
Napoli would therefore like to pay the full amount for Kvaratskhelia (there has been talk of a price of around 80 million euros recently), and then take Skriniar on loan. Understandably, it’s a good deal with a minimum of risk, while the defender’s fitness is a minor uncertainty.
But above all, we remain cautious, as nothing is certain without official confirmation. Above all, there’s a lot of fuss being made about the details of the negotiations, which makes it difficult to see clearly. Let’s wait for more concrete elements. Skriniar could well be heading for Napoli, but there are other possible outcomes.
