Liverpool & Chelsea Join Khvicha Kvaratskhelia Race Amid Napoli Exit Rumours

Liverpool and Chelsea have emerged as potential contenders for Napoli winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, joining Manchester United in the pursuit of the highly sought-after Georgian star.

Napoli Open to Selling Kvaratskhelia

Contract negotiations between Napoli and Kvaratskhelia have reportedly stalled, prompting the Serie A champions to consider offers for the 23-year-old. Paris Saint-Germain are believed to have already proposed a deal worth around €80m (£67.1m).

Man Utd’s Swap Deal Proposal

Manchester United are also in the mix, having been linked with a potential swap deal involving Marcus Rashford. Such a move could see Rashford heading to Naples in exchange for Kvaratskhelia.

Liverpool & Chelsea Monitor the Situation

News of Kvaratskhelia’s availability has caught the attention of Liverpool and Chelsea, according to The Athletic. While neither club is actively seeking a winger in this transfer window, the opportunity to sign a long-term target at a reasonable price has prompted both teams to assess their options.

A Bargain for a Star Performer

Napoli’s valuation of €80m is seen as a fair price for Kvaratskhelia, who was named Serie A Player of the Season during Napoli’s title-winning 2022/23 campaign. His skill set, age, and proven success in one of Europe’s top leagues make him an attractive prospect for any top club.

Napoli Eye Potential Replacements

If Kvaratskhelia departs, Napoli have already lined up potential replacements. Liverpool winger Federico Chiesa is reportedly a key target, while Chelsea midfielder Cesare Casadei has also drawn interest from Napoli manager Antonio Conte.
