Khvicha Kvaratskhelia gets routinely linked to top clubs, most recently Manchester City, considering his glitzy showings, but there’s nothing tangible on the table. Napoli are in the driver’s seat to keep him for at least a few seasons.
His agent Mamuka Jugeli addressed the rumors to a Russian publication (via Il Mattino).
“No offer has come across my desk, and I don’t think the club received one either. There’s nothing concrete. He’s fully focused on the team, winning the Scudetto and competing in Champions League. How could it be any different? They will have to work hard after building their lead. There will be Round of 16 clashes soon, and their goal is to advance. There’s a lot on his plate. How much he’s worth is the least of his concern right now.”
Kvaratskhelia faces a late fitness test ahead of the derby with Salernitana because he’s under the weather.
“Luciano Spalletti will make the final call, but he’s not dealing with a worrisome problem. I’ll reach him in Naples in the next few days. Many Georgians have visited the city and attended games. There’s a special charter flight from Tbilisi every time they play. Even those that didn’t watch football are following him now.”
Napoli have a clause to extend his contract until 2028, but it’ll be a matter for another day. Transfer market expert Luca Marchetti spoke about the Kvaratskhelia to Radio Marte.
“I don’t think they will pick up the option now. More than anything, he should be rewarded for his performances. His contract should be improved rather than extended. But nodody is in any rush at the moment.”
