Premier League champions Manchester City recently dispatched scouts to observe Khvicha Kvaratskhelia in action for Serie A counterparts Napoli. According to a report by Graeme Bailey on HITC, Manchester City is interested in the Napoli forward as they contemplate signing a wide attacker in the upcoming summer transfer window. The talented player is also being pursued by Liverpool, with an estimated price tag of about £85 million.
Since joining Manchester City from Dinamo Batumi in July 2022, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has experienced a rollercoaster journey. He played a pivotal role in Napoli’s Serie A title triumph last season after a long wait, but his performance has been inconsistent this season. Despite his ups and downs, the 23-year-old has managed to contribute significantly with 16 goals and assists in 37 appearances across various competitions.
Despite his inconsistency, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia remains a sought-after talent by numerous prominent clubs in Europe. Manchester City’s interest in him is justified, especially with uncertainties surrounding Jack Grealish’s future at the club. On the other hand, Liverpool is also eyeing the Georgian forward as a potential replacement in case Mohamed Salah departs. However, Napoli’s hefty asking price of £85 million may be a stumbling block for both clubs.
Both Manchester City and Liverpool possess the financial means to secure Kvaratskhelia’s services if necessary. However, Napoli is likely to fiercely resist any attempts to lure the player away from them, given their reputation as tough negotiators in the transfer market. The coming months will reveal the outcome of this transfer saga as the Premier League giants continue to monitor the talented forward closely.
