Luis Campos, supported by Luis Enrique, intensified discussions with Naples to recruit Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. The Georgian winger is now PSG’s priority to strengthen the left flank of the attack. This arrival could offer healthy competition to Bradley Barcola while allowing Désiré Doué to be repositioned, either in midfield or as a false number 9.
Unlike this summer, Naples would now be open to a transfer of their star player. To speed up the negotiations, PSG could be helped by two key intermediaries. The first, Cristian Zaccardo, former world champion central defender in 2006, brings valuable experience. Already involved in Kvaratskhelia’s move to Napoli three years ago, Zaccardo is believed to have recently taken a flight from Dubai to join the discussions. According to the Italian media Rome newspaperits participation could allow rapid progress in this matter.
The second intermediary, according to The Teamis none other than Jorge Mendes, influential and well-known agent of PSG. His involvement in the matter reinforces the idea that exchanges between Paris and Naples have reached a serious stage.
Although the negotiations are promising, a quick conclusion is not mandatory. Indeed, even if Kvaratskhelia were to sign for PSG soon, he would not be able to play the next two Champions League matches against Manchester City and Stuttgart. UEFA does not authorize changes to the list of players entered in the group stage. An update would only be possible if PSG qualifies for the knockout stages. This context offers the Parisian club a little margin to finalize this strategic transfer, while strengthening the squad for the rest of the season.
