Liverpool closing on deal to sign Napoli’s Khvicha Kvaratskhelia as clubs reach an agreement of terms
The Reds have expressed interest in signing Napoli winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia this summer,
despite his uncertain future in Italy, according to CaughtOffside.
The Georgia international has come on the radar of several European teams this summer,
following reports that he is eager to leave Napoli after a disappointing season with the Serie A giants.
After winning the Scudetto in 2023 under Luciano Spalletti, Napoli ended 10th in the league last season,
having changed managers three times.
After failing to qualify for the Champions League, some of their key players, like Kvaratskhelia, who has been regarded as a’superstar’,
and Victor Osimhen, are believed to be considering a summer departure.
The two forwards have been Napoli’s greatest performers in previous seasons and are attracting plenty of attention in the Premier League.
According to CaughtOffside, Liverpool has ‘requested for details’ on Kvaratskhelia’s pricing and wage demands.
According to the newspaper, Paris Saint-Germain is also interested in the winger,
who is expected to make a decision on his future after Euro 2024.
Kvaratskhelia Considered by Liverpool
As new Liverpool manager Arne Slot prepares for his first season in charge, a new era of fresh faces is ready to begin at Anfield.
Liverpool’s interest in Kvaratskhelia is unsurprising given that star forward Mohamed Salah has only
one year left on his current contract.
The Georgian forward might be brought in to replace Salah,
who has had attention from the Saudi Pro League for the second consecutive summer.
Luciano Spalletti, the manager of Napoli, has even compared Kvaratskhelia to Salah in terms of his playing style.
The Reds are looking to make several big-name recruits this summer,
continuing the renovation that Jurgen Klopp began a year ago with the purchase of four new central midfielders.
Earlier this month, Fabrizio Romano reported that several Premier League clubs sent scouts to follow Kvaratskhelia at
Napoli last season and it remains to be seen if Liverpool are willing to meet the Serie A giants’ demands for the talented winger.
According to recent reports from Italy, Napoli could demand up to £110m for Kvaratskhelia,
who is valued in the same range as Osimhen by club president Aurelio De Laurentiis.
| Khvicha Kvaratskhelia Stats (2023-24) | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Competition | Games | Goals | Assists |
| Serie A | 34 | 11 | 8 |
| Champions League | 8 | 0 | 1 |
| Supercoppa Italiana | 2 | 0 | 0 |
| Italy Cup | 1 | 0 | 0 |
Liverpool Expect Salah to Stay
Liverpool are expecting their star forward Mohamed Salah to stay for at least another season,
according to journalist Ben Jacobs.
Speaking to GIVEMESPORT, he suggested that Salah is likely to see out his final contract year with the Reds and
then decide his future.
Liverpool are expected to offer Salah a new deal as he anticipates interest from Saudi Arabia again –
the Reds rejected a £150m proposal for the Egyptian last summer.
The Guardian previously reported that the 32-year-old is among the top transfer targets for Saudi Pro League clubs this summer, alongside goalkeeper Alisson.
