Napoli to Offer Kvaratskhelia Salary Hike to Wade Real Madrid Interest

Few signings have had the impact Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has had, as the Georgian playmaker continues to dazzle across all fronts with 12 goals and 15 assists in 26 appearances for Napoli this season. His displays have naturally garnered the attention of top continental heavyweights, including Premier League outfits and reigning European champions Real Madrid.

Likening the Georgian to ‘an impressionist artist who came out of a Parisian cafe in Montmartre, ‘La Gazzetta dello Sport reports of Napoli’s intention to keep hold of the 22-year-old attacker for years to come. A contract extension until 2028, including a jump in his salary from the current €1.7M deal to €2.5M net per annum is in the books for Kvaratskhelia.

As per Le10Sport, Real Madrid want to invest in bringing the playmaker to Estadio Santiago Bernabeu in the summer transfer window. Napoli expect atleast €100-150M to be offered for Kvaratskhelia but are not yet prepared to lose him after just one season.

The Georgia international moved to Naples last summer for a paltry sum of €10M. His market value has increased at least eight-fold since his transfer.
