Liverpool FC has joined Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in the race to sign Napoli winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, a player who has rapidly emerged as one of Europe’s most sought-after talents. The 23-year-old Georgian international, known for his dynamic play and impressive statistics—30 goals and 29 assists in 107 appearances—has captured the attention of top clubs following his pivotal role in Napoli’s recent Serie A triumph.
Reports indicate that Napoli is seeking a transfer fee of approximately €80 million (£67 million) for Kvaratskhelia, with PSG currently positioned as frontrunners, reportedly offering to quadruple his salary to around £120,000 per week. However, Liverpool remains keen on securing the winger, eyeing a potential player-plus-cash deal involving Federico Chiesa to mitigate the financial impact.
Liverpool’s interest is not new; the club has monitored Kvaratskhelia’s situation closely since August. With uncertainty surrounding the futures of key players like Mohamed Salah and Darwin Nunez, Liverpool is strategically planning for long-term squad development. The club’s history of successful mid-season acquisitions further underscores their commitment to enhancing their attacking options.
While PSG appears to be leading negotiations, Liverpool is poised to act swiftly should conditions become favorable. Journalist David Lynch suggests that Liverpool may adopt a tactical approach similar to previous transfer dealings, allowing PSG to establish terms before making their move.
