The Napoli hierarchy moved from words to action, traveling to Germany to visit Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and his agent Mamuka Jugeli to table their offer to extend his deal. The parties will need to negotiate to come to an understanding, Alfredo Pedullà informs.
The Partenopei tendered €4M wages plus sizeable bonuses, some more easy to achieve than others. His representative is asking for more. PSG would be willing to pay the star €9M annually. Instead, the bid to lure him would be around €100M.
Napoli and Kvaratskhelia could eventually concur to a €5M salary plus add-ons thanks to the insertion of a relatively affordable release clause. He and his entourage could accept to stay for another season if it was about €80M. His prospective departure would be a lot easer.
Antonio Conte spoke highly of the Georgia talisman and vetoed his exit, but the player still holds the card. The club will have to up their offer to keep ahold of the ace. The brass failed to tend to the matter as attentively and decisively as it should have last season before the suitors started knocking at the door.
Our Take on Napoli and Kvaratskhelia
It’s quite a hairy situation, especially while Victor Osimhen is stilling in town, setting an unrealistic bar wage-wise. If the numbers are real, there’s a gulf between the proposals. The Azzurri can just hope he shows loyalty. Otherwise, it’d be a battle for the ages as, albeit his salary is low, he’s under contract long-term, and Aurelio De Laurentiis is hardheaded.
