Gennaro Di Nardo, one of the intermediaries of the negotiations that brought Khvicha Kvaratskhelia to Napoli from Georgia, has provided background information on the deal.
The agent spoke to Radio Kiss Kiss (via TuttoNapoli) and shed light on the transfer proceedings, including Juventus’ interest in the promising youngster.
“He has great adaptability, he plays universal football, and everything is going well. Napoli did well by catching him. He played in Russia, which is not a second-level league.”
He then took stock on the prospects of his growth in the Partenopei colors
“He was born in 2001, so he is still developing on a physical level. He can improve tactically with Luciano Spalletti in Italy.”
Napoli displayed quickfire interest in the Georgian wonder kid, beating other clubs to the punch. Spalletti is said to have played a key role in negotiations.
“Cristian Zaccardo was the first to find him, we met with directors Cristiano Giuntoli and Maurizio Micheli. He was already showing off at Rubin Kazan and was liked by many clubs. Napoli were the fastest to block him, having already qualified for the Champions League. The coach spoke with him during the negotiation.”
Finally, he dished on Juventus’ long-standing curiosity in Kvaratskhelia.
“Fabio Paratici had spotted him. They were at an advanced stage, but it is better for him to have moved to Naples.”
The winger has four goals in five appearances so far, starting off his top-tier career in great style.
