Naples is pushing hard to replace outgoing Khvicha Kvaratskhelia
With the imminent departure of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (23 years old) around Paris Saint-Germain for an amount of €70 million, Naples is working to find his replacement. According to Sports ZoneTHE Neapolitans would have set their sights on Edon Zhegrovathe talented winger of LOSC.
The Kosovar international does not hide his desire to join a leading European club. This summer, he had already expressed his wish to leavebut Lille had refused any transfer, hoping to get a better price thanks to their Champions League campaign. A strategy that seems to be paying off, while the Mastiffs are well placed to qualify for the competition play-offs.
However, the transfer is far from being concluded. Naples has not yet managed to convince the Lille leaders, who wish to keep Zhegrova under the leadership of Bruno Genesio. Additionally, no agreement on personal terms has yet been reached between the player and the Italian club, according to Sports Zone.
The schedule remains busy for Lille, who will face group leader Liverpool before hosting Feyenoord to conclude the group stage. If qualified, Zhegrova's value could rise further, further complicating negotiations for Napoli.
For Antonio Conte and his team, the challenge is twofold: finalizing this operation while managing the departure of Kvaratskhelia. The question remains open: can Zhegrova be the right man for Napoli?
