(Football news) Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has been one of the most in form players in Europe. Napoli are currently 15 points clear on the top of Serie A andthe Georgian has been a big reason behind that. The winger has 11 goals and 14 assists in 23 games this season. Napoli are well on course to a Serie A victory and are one of the favorites to win the UEFA Champions League. Naturally Kvaratskhelia has attracted interest from some of the biggest clubs in Europe. Napoli bought the winger for just €12M from Georgian club Dinamo Batumi. His current contract ends in 2027 which means that he will not be cheap.
One of the clubs who is said to be monitoring Kvaratskhelia is Real Madrid. The player’s agent was recently asked whether Real Madrid are interested in Kvaratskhelia he replied – “Yes and a lot of other clubs but he’s only focused on Napoli. He loves the club and the city, he won’t join any other Italian club, we’ve not received a new deal proposal yet.” The player himself has publicly said that he has been a Real Madrid fan since he was a kid. He idolizes Real Madrid legends like Guti and Cristiano Ronaldo. Carlo Ancelotti is also a big fan of the player as he scouted the winger when he was Napoli’s manager.
Real Madrid may be interested in signing Kvaratskhelia but he is once a player who likes to play on the left wing just like Rodrygo and Vinicius Jr. Real Madrid need a natural left winger as currently they play Marco Asensio, Rodrygo or Fede Valverde there who are all better in other positions.
Having said that, Kvaratskhelia looks like a really good player and if they can sign him for a reasonable amount then it could be worth it. Whenever asked about the sales of Kvaratskhelia or Victor Osimhen, Napoli have said that they don’t have any financial issues and don’t need to sell players for money reasons. With Premier League clubs in the race he will cost quite a bit of money.
