Khvicha Kvaratskhelia's representative unveils what it will take to lure winger away from Napoli amid interest from PSG and Premier League clubs.
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia's representative has confirmed it will take an offer that satisfies all parties for his client to depart Napoli this summer.
The Georgian international has been heavily linked with Paris Saint-Germain as the French club look to secure a replacement for the outgoing Kylian Mbappe. Kvaratskhelia caught the world's attention last season as he played a leading role in Napoli's first Serie A triumph in over 30 years. While the Neapolitans have struggled this term, currently sitting ninth in the table, the winger has still recorded 10 goals and six assists in 32 league appearances.
Luring Kvaratskhelia away from Naples will not be simple, though, as his current deal runs through to 2027. However, the terms of the deal are the same as when he joined from Dinamo Batumi in the summer of 2022. With Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis not eager to enter renewal negotiations, there is a chance the Georgian could seek to force a move away.
But according to TMW, his representative Mamuka Jugeli said: “We are in no rush to make a decision because Naples is Khvicha’s second home. We appreciate the care and respect that Napoli and Mr. President have shown towards Khvicha. Only if there is an offer that satisfies the club, the player, and if De Laurentiis is not against it, will we consider it."
Napoli will seek to end their challenging season on a high with victories against Fiorentina and Lecce in their final two Serie A fixtures. But Francesco Calzona's side are unable to qualify for next season's Champions League, a predicament which could see the likes of Kvaratskhelia and star striker Victor Osimhen contemplate moves elsewhere this summer.
Todd Boehly on Chelsea venture: “We need to exercise patience”.
“Since Boxing Day, we rank as the fourth best team in the Premier League. Considering the current progress, it's becoming increasingly encouraging”.
“We're not merely spending the money; we're putting it into investments”.
“Our expenditures are strategic investments, and those players consistently maintain their value”.
“I contend that the investments made at Chelsea have proven their worth”.
PSG reached out to Xavi Simons’ representatives to confirm they have no intention of selling him on a permanent deal this summer.
If the player prefers not to return, a loan move is feasible and remains the most probable outcome.
Xavi will have a say in selecting his next loan destination.
Saudi Arabia is eyeing Liverpool's top talents! Goalkeeper Alisson is now on the radar alongside Mohamed Salah as a priority transfer target for the Saudi Pro League.
Saudi Arabian clubs are once again aiming to secure big-name signings this summer, with both Mohamed Salah and Alisson Becker from Liverpool being targeted.
According to The Guardian, Saudi Pro League clubs are planning another significant round of investments after spending over 750 million pound last summer. Salah was pursued previously, and Al-Ittihad made a bid of 150 million pound, which was turned down by Liverpool.
Saudi clubs are prepared to make another attempt to sign the Egyptian international, especially with his contract expiring next summer, potentially making Liverpool more open to offers. Alisson has also been identified as a potential target, although his contract runs until 2027. Additionally, there is interest in Casemiro and Raphael Varane from Manchester United, with the latter confirming his departure from Old Trafford.
Salah has experienced a slight drop in form this season. While he scored 30 goals and provided 16 assists in all competitions last season, he has contributed to 39 goals this term. Despite winning the Carabao Cup, Liverpool has faced disappointment in the Premier League and the Europa League.
Liverpool's last Premier League match of the season is against Wolves, but there is nothing at stake for the Reds other than pride in Jurgen Klopp's final game in charge. They have already secured a third-placed finish.
Xavi discussed Vitor Roque: “Originally, the plan was for Vitor Roque to join us in July, not in January, but due to injuries, we expedited the deal”.
“Vitor needs to progress; we have many talented players”.
“I find the 'Roque situation' puzzling; he's a young player in the learning phase and he requires development”.
