Sporting director of Napoli, Giovanni Manna spoke about the transfer of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, estimated at nearly €70 million excluding bonuses. The Georgian international, who was one of the big stars of the Neapolitan team, joined Paris Saint-Germain this winter and made his debut at the Parc des Princes this Saturday, during the Ligue 1 match against Stade de Reims (1-1).
This is the big transfer of the winter, for the moment. Star of the Serie A, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia left the Napoli to open a new chapter in his career at PSGwhere he could well become the successor of a Kylian Mbappé left last summer. And Parisian supporters have already been able to see him in action, since the Georgian made his big debut in Ligue 1 this Saturday, with a decisive pass against the Reims stadium.
“Kvaratskhelia, a transfer due to the player’s will”
Meanwhile, his former club Napoli tries to forget it, with Giovanni Manna who was once again questioned about his departure to the PSG. « Kvara must be replaced, a transfer due to the player's will. We don't back down » explained the Neapolitan sports director at the microphone of Sky Sport Italiabefore discussing the succession of Kvaratskhelia. « Adeyemi and Garnacho are two names that interest us, that we like. They are not the only ones, we will try to evaluate the opportunities ».
“If we want to arrive and aspire to compete in Italy and Europe, the team must be improved”
« We will certainly not pay off-market prices. We also have other ideas, let's see what happens in the next few days » continued Mannawhich saw no less than €70M arrive from the PSG for the transfer of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. “ We are proud of what the boys are doing. About the way Conte and his team built the group. If we want to arrive and aspire to compete in Italy and Europe, the team must be improved. We are calm, coordinated. Improving the team is not easy ».
