While Paris Saint-Germain had apparently tried to recruit him during the last summer transfer window, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia would still be an absolute wish of Luis Enrique.
Last summer, while he had a satisfactory Euro 2024 with Georgia, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia quickly became the subject of numerous rumors linked to his future. A real strong man for SSC Napoli during the title season in 2022-2023, the left winger was less visible the following season despite flattering statistics. However, this did not prevent Paris Saint-Germain and other big clubs from coming forward for information. Better, for the Ile-de-France club, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia quickly became a priority to replace Kylian Mbappé, who left for Real Madrid.
But on his return from Germany after Georgia's defeat against Spain in the round of 16, the former Rubin Kazan player saw all his aspirations for the future blocked by Aurelio De Laurentiis. The Neapolitan president was more than firm, even refusing a good offer from Paris Saint-Germain. While rumors about a possible extension of the player in Naples are rife, the current leader of Ligue 1 could return to the charge.
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Luis Enrique’s priority?
If Napoli is currently leader of Serie A despite its heavy defeat at home against Atalanta on the last day, it is partly thanks to a team well-oiled by Antonio Conte in which Khvicha Kvaratskhelia fits precisely. The Georgian has had a start to the season along the lines of his last two in Neapolitan colours: 5 goals and 2 assists in 11 games, scoring once every 154 minutes of play.
Services that logically arouse desire. And in this game, Paris Saint-Germain intends to try their luck again. After taking the De Laurentiis wall last summer, the capital club would have every intention of relaunching negotiations for the 2025 summer transfer window, indicates PSGInside_Actu. The extension of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia would take its toll, because the club would not accept his desire to include a release clause of 80 million euros. In addition, he was a priority for Luis Enrique in 2024 and will be in 2025 if the Asturian extends his contract.
While he is currently valued at 80 million euros according to the specialist site Transfermarkt, there is no doubt that we will have to put our hands in our pockets to secure his services next season. For a player who will only be 24 years old at that time, all madness is possible.
