Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, 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 transfer window but his club did not open the door despite pressure put by those around him. PSG Inside Act now affirms that PSG intends to continue trying while the extension hoped for by Naples is struggling to take shape.
« he wants the opportunity to leave for a big club. »
« Naples has a strict salary policy, and president Aurelio De Laurentiis is known for his demands in negotiations. He may be reluctant to offer a contract with a salary comparable to what Kvaratskhelia could get at another top European club.
The clan of Kvaratskhelia wants to set the release clause at 80 million euros, which the president refuses to date. Even if the Georgian player extends, he wants to have the possibility of leaving for a big club.
« it will still be one of the priorities if the coach extends. »
This was the priority for the 2024 summer transfer window. The coach and the player spoke on the phone several times and the player even reached an agreement with PSG. Naples at that time had agreed that they would discuss among themselves before changing their mind and deciding to keep him. In the 2025 transfer window, it will still be one of the priorities if the coach extends. »
We remain cautious, there is nothing concrete here. But it is still a relatively credible whole. PSG pushed to recruit Kvaratskhelia during the last summer transfer window and he still corresponds quite logically to the plans of coach Luis Enrique.
If the latter is replaced, a lot of things can be turned upside down. But this is absolutely not the trend. All the media agree that his contract extension until 2027 is confirmed. Which makes sense for the Parisian project.
So there would also be logic in continuing to push to recruit one of the best active wingers, who would fit perfectly with the coach's philosophy.
But it still promises to be difficult. Napoli have time before they are really under pressure and their president Aurelio De Laurentiis has already proven that he knows how to be stubborn. So let's wait before hoping too much, even if the transfer seems thinkable.
