It is no secret of the interest brewing amongst the European elite to sign Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, the fleet-footed Georgian who has captured attention not only across Europe but also on a global scale with his priceless performances for the Partenopei. Napoli intend to lock down the Georgian on a new deal, which would mean greater power for the club to leverage a fabulous amount of top teams come calling.
As per La Repubblica (via TuttoNapoli), Napoli chief Aurelio De Laurentiis is ready to offer a heightened deal for the playmaker – doubling his salary from €1.2M to €3M net per season, including bonuses – extending his stay for a further year, until the summer of 2028.

The soon-to-be Scudetto winners have no doubts in their mind regarding their decision, as Kvaratskhelia continues to impress across all fronts. The €11.5M signing has proved priceless for Napoli in Serie A and the UEFA Champions League, registering an impressive 14 goals and 16 assists in 30 appearances across both competitions.
Real Madrid are reportedly interested in splashing big for the attacking midfielder come summer. Premier League outfits Newcastle United, and Tottenham Hotspur are also linked, along with Paris Saint-Germain, who are preparing themselves for life after Lionel Messi and perhaps even Kylian Mbappe.
Kvaratkshelia is not the only one on Napoli’s radar for an extension. South Korean stopper Kim Min-jae and Nigerian marksman Victor Osimhen are also in line to receive similar deals.
