According to reports, Liverpool may try to beat Paris Saint-Germain to the signing of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia of Napoli by offering Federico Chiesa and one of his Anfield teammates. The stalling of contract negotiations between Kvaratskhelia and Napoli has positioned him for a significant departure from the Italian team. PSG, Chelsea, Manchester United, and Liverpool are reportedly interested in the electrifying winger.
PSG and Napoli are getting closer to signing Kvaratskhelia after engaging in “direct negotiations.” It will cost €80 million (£67 million or $82 million) for the Ligue 1 powerhouses to sign him in January. But in the transfer race, Liverpool cannot be written off. In a “sensational” trade for Kvaratskhelia, Reds executives are considering adding two players, according to Rousing the Kop. First up, Chiesa, who signed a £12.5 million contract in the summer, has had trouble making an impression. Darwin Nunez is a striker for Napoli, and Liverpool is “considering” offering him to them as well.
Liverpool Could Offer Two Players In Bid For Napoli Winger
“Liverpool isn’t specifically pursuing a player with Kvaratskhelia’s profile, but they do admire him, are watching him, and will be prepared to compete if a market opportunity arises.” Considered one of Europe’s top forwards, the Georgia international has five goals and three assists for Napoli this season, and the Italian team is having trouble signing him to a new deal.
According to a recent report by journalist Graeme Bailey for Rousing the Kop, Nunez or Chiesa might “facilitate” this trade; therefore, Liverpool is “weighing up two players in a sensational Napoli swap deal.” Since joining Liverpool from Juventus in the summer, Chiesa has not been able to contribute, and it has been said that Slot has “lost patience” with Nunez due to his unsatisfactory play.
It is believed that the Reds have not been actively preparing to sign Kvaratskhelia during the January transfer window, but they are anxious to avoid losing out on the opportunity to do so from Napoli, according to the RTK report. According to Liverpool, RTK has been told that any action could be contingent on how hard PSG tries to close a purchase.
