Conte Confirms Kvaratskhelia's Napoli Exit; PSG Agree €80M Deal with 4.5-Year Contract

Jan 11, 2025, 01:42 PM

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has requested to leave Napoli, as confirmed by coach Antonio Conte, who expressed disappointment and stated, "I tried to convince Kvaratskhelia to stay but he has decided to go and try a new chapter." Negotiations between Napoli and Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) are advanced, with the transfer potentially being finalized next week. The deal is expected to be worth around €80 million, including bonuses, and Kvaratskhelia has agreed to a 4.5-year contract with PSG, who are offering to quadruple his current salary. PSG's proposals have included offers like €45 million plus Randal Kolo Muani or €60 million plus Milan Skriniar, though Skriniar's high salary poses a problem for Napoli. Napoli is already looking at potential replacements, such as Federico Chiesa and Edon Zhegrova. Other clubs, including Liverpool and Chelsea, have shown interest in Kvaratskhelia, but PSG appears close to finalizing the transfer.
