This past summer transfer window, Paris Saint-Germain had Napoli standout Khvicha Kvaratskhelia on their radar. Despite the capital club’s keen interest in the Georgian, a move didn’t transpire.
Napoli stood their ground regarding their stance, which was their unwillingness to sell Kvaratskhelia. In the 2023-24 season, Kvaratskhelia played in 45 games, scoring 11 goals and making nine assists. Moreover, his efforts were vital to Napoli’s 2023 Serie A title win.
Still, even though he was part of a league-winning squad, Kvaratskhelia didn’t receive a new contract and his current deal expires in 2027. Nonetheless, talks over a new agreement are reaching a standstill considering the gap in wages each side has.
The player’s camp wants €8 million per season to extend at the Stadio Maradona, but the Partenopei will only offer €6 million plus add-ons. If these differences drag on, other European clubs will circle, and one will already be laying the groundwork for a potential pursuit.
Tuttomercatoweb reports that Manchester United sent a scout to watch Kvaratskhelia in action against Empoli this weekend.

A few months ago, Napoli manager Antonio Conte reportedly noted that he would not entertain any sale for his star winger. However, if no new contract is agreed to between now and next summer, could that change?
