PSG is still interested in the arrival of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia from Napoli during the winter transfer window. The Georgian winger, who is no longer blocked by the Italian club, is seduced by the Parisian project. But the file remains complex.
If the issue is clearly topical, it is not so simple for PSG. The Ile-de-France club tried to bring in Khvicha Kvaratskhelia last summer but was turned down by Naples, who were not selling at the time.
PSG then preferred not to recruit anyone in the same position rather than setting their sights on a plan B by default, with the idea of trying again during the winter transfer window. A strategy that could pay off.

Should Paris rush towards Kvaratskhelia? – 09/01
Napoli’s position has evolved
Indeed, Napoli’s position has evolved since the summer. Antonio Conte, who considered the Georgian winger essential at the start of the season, is now open to the idea of letting his nugget slip away. The southern Italian club is therefore ready to consider the Parisian offer, but on its conditions.
And these are clearly greedy: if the price varies depending on the sources, the amount of the check that PSG should sign could be around 80 million euros. A difficulty for the Parisian club, which, barring a big sale between now and then, does not have this sum to inject into a transfer.
Kvaratskhelia seduced by the project
Paris may therefore have to find an alternative arrangement, which could take the form of a loan with an option to buy or a deal including a player from the Parisian squad. With the latter in mind, the profile of Milan Skriniar could interest Napoli. Another factor to take into account: competition from English clubs, who have the financial means.
The fact remains that Kvaratskhelia is still seduced by the Parisian project. A sign of the evolution of the Neapolitan position on this issue, according to our information, the Italian club is already actively looking for a replacement and is exploring the market. According to the Corriere dello Sportone of their targets would be Lille’s Edon Zhegrova, but other avenues exist.
