free field for PSG, “Kvaratskhelia asked to be transferred” this winter, regrets Conte

Thunderbolt in the winter transfer window. Courted by PSG, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia wants to leave Naples. This is not a rumor: information. And it is relayed by none other than the man named Antonio Conte, coach of the leader in the Serie A ranking. He spoke about it this Saturday, at a press conference, on the eve of the reception of Hellas Verona during the 20th day of the Italian championship. “We are talking about an important player, last summer I spoke about it with the president (Aurélio de Laurentiis) and I wanted to have technical certainty by requiring confirmation from certain important players.
