FC Barcelona, Liverpool, and Paris Saint-Germain are reportedly among the clubs showing interest in Napoli’s Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. Reports that contract extension talks between the player and Napoli are stalling have encouraged these teams.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, PSG and Barcelona are intensifying their efforts, putting pressure on Napoli to secure an agreement before the summer transfer window opens.
Additionally, La Repubblica has reported that Barcelona are in active negotiations to sign Kvaratskhelia, with discussions already underway. The deal could be finalized for around €80 million, per the Italian outlet.
Meanwhile, Journalist Graeme Bailey told Rousing the Kop that Liverpool are monitoring Kvaratskhelia as part of its plans to prepare for Mohamed Salah’s eventual departure.
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Napoli are at odds
Kvaratskhelia and Napoli are still in talks over a contract renewal. While the current deal runs through 2027, there are growing doubts about his future in southern Europe. The focus of the negotiations is on the release clause, according to Sky Sports Italy (h/t Diario AS).
His salary isn’t an issue, but the talented winger is asking for a buyout figure of €80 million, while Napoli is holding out for €100 million. Meanwhile, Barcelona are closely monitoring the situation, as they are keen to sign a world-class left winger.
As reported by Tuttomercatoweb (h/t Le10Sport), Kvaratskhelia is still unconvinced by Napoli’s €5 million wage offer for his contract extension. PSG could take advantage of the situation to make progress on the matter.
The Parisian management is reportedly ready to offer up to €11 million per year to the Georgian international to convince him to sign.
