While several rumors announce that Khvicha Kvaratskhelia could finally settle down at PSG next summer, someone close to the SSC Naples striker has cast serious doubt on this matter.
Mercato: Khvicha Kvaratskhelia closer and closer to PSG?
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, the Georgian nugget of SSC Napoli, continues to make Paris Saint-Germain dream. If the capital club had already tried to attract him last summer, the file seems to be relaunched. According to La Repubblica, the player would be increasingly inclined to join Ligue 1 and Luis Campos, sports director of PSG, would not have given up on the idea of recruiting him.
Negotiations for a contract extension with Napoli appear to have stalled, which opens the door to a departure. For its part, Napoli have already identified a potential replacement in the person of Federico Chiesa, currently at Juventus. The Italian, in difficulty in Serie A, could be seduced by a new challenge in Naples.
This choice could be explained by the similarities between the two players: their speed, their dribbling and their ability to make the difference in the truth zones. However, Chiesa is more versatile and can play in several offensive positions. The president of Napoli, Aurelio de Laurentiis, not wishing to relive the Victor Osimhen soap opera, he could agree to let Kvaratskhelia leave if the salary demands of the 23-year-old player are not revised downwards. This transfer would have significant consequences for both clubs, both sportingly and financially.
The Kvaratskhelia soap opera takes an unexpected turn!
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, the Georgian nugget who lit up Serie A last season, is at the heart of a real soap opera. While PSG had tried everything to secure his services, it was ultimately Napoli who won. But negotiations to extend the young winger's contract stumble over the salary issue.
If Kvaratskhelia's agent demands an annual salary of 8 million euros, the Neapolitan club would not be ready to go beyond 5 million. This impasse could open the door to other suitors, notably Manchester United, who have already made a tempting offer. However, Cristian Zaccardo, close to the player, is confident about an extension at Napoli.
“I am confident for the extension of Kvaratskhelia at Napoli,” declared the man who was behind the arrival of the Georgian international in Naples in 2022, at the microphone of Mediaset. “The future is on his side, with the qualities he has he can improve a lot,” he added. Paris SG is therefore warned.
