Liverpool suffer blow in their pursuit of Napoli winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia

Napoli’s sporting director Giovanni Manna has suggested that Kvaratskhelia’s long-term future will be with his current club.

Liverpool are one of the top European clubs who are planning to sign the Napoli winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. The Reds are monitoring the 23-year-old and they were on the verge of signing the Napoli star.

The Merseyside club made an enquiry to establish Napoli’s asking price and the player’s wage demands. Meanwhile, summer move failed due to Napoli boss. Antonio Conte insisted that the Georgia international would not be sold.

The Reds then moved to other options in search of a striker. They went for Federico Chiesa who was signed from Juventus for an initial £10m. Arne Slot still wants Kvaratskhelia who could be a great replacement for Mo Salah who is likely to leave the club next summer.

Kvaratskhelia is on radar of Real Madrid, Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester City, Manchester United, Arsenal and Newcastle United. Napoli’s sporting director Giovanni Manna has suggested that Kvaratskhelia’s long-term future will be with his current club.

While talking to Sky Sport Italia, Manna said: “[Kvaratskhelia] still has three years on his contract. There have been teams approaching him, but we’ve shared the desire to continue together.

“We’re working with the player’s entourage to reach a contract renewal. We’re calm, there’s no need to rush.”

Georgian winger has developed into a star player for Napoli since joining the club from Dinamo Batumi in the summer of 2022. He scored 27 goals and provided 28 assists in 93 appearances across all competitions.
