Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is the most talked-about transfer in European football this January window. Numerous European publications have claimed since the start of the week that PSG offered to pay the €80 million (£67 million) asking price established by the Italian club in order to capitalize on the stalling negotiations between Napoli and the winger’s representatives over a contract renewal.
Manchester United had been looking for a Marcus Rashford trade with the Italians, but PSG’s interest has hurt their chances. But things have changed in the last few hours as two more Premier League teams have joined the race for the prolific winger.
Chelsea and Liverpool are interested in signing the player, according to information published by The Athletic on Friday (10). Even if both teams now have talented wingers in their rosters, the management of both clubs is interested in the market possibility to acquire a possible long-term target.
Although neither Liverpool nor Chelsea have made their proposals official yet, both teams could pursue this avenue. Reports from Italy have indicated Napoli’s interest in Federico Chiesa (Reds) and Cesare Casadei (Blues) since the start of the transfer window, creating the possibility of negotiations involving players from these two teams.
At the outset, Kvaratskhelia informed clubs that he would not consider any bids less €80 million, a substantial sum for the 23-year-old who was named the 2022–2023 Serie A Player of the Season. Napoli is, nevertheless, amenable to a number of suggestions pertaining to the negotiation of other athletes.
