Paris Saint-Germain is preparing to change era. After seven years spent in the Parisian jersey, Kylian Mbappé, who has just made his departure official, will leave the capital club next June to join Real Madrid, as we revealed to you at the start of 2024. Orphan of top scorer in the history of the Ile-de-France team, the Rouge et Bleu board is therefore working hard to build the future face of the French champions. But with what elements? With this in mind, the European press revealed, in recent hours, that Luis Campos and his teams had made Khvicha Kvaratskhelia the priority of the next summer transfer window. However, if La Gazzetta Dello Sport affirms that Napoli wants a sum between 100 and 120 M€ to release its Georgian star, the task promises to be much more complex for the Parisian leaders.
More than a question of money and according to our latest information, the Partenopei have no intention of parting with their 23-year-old left winger. Renowned for being very tough in business, Neapolitan president Aurelio De Laurentiis never sold a crack before three years at the club. Arriving in July 2022 at Naples after a few months spent at Dinamo Batumi, the man nicknamed “Kvara” therefore remains more than ever affiliated with the future of the Italian team. Under contract until June 2027 with Napoli, the native of Tiflis is, in fact, considered an essential executive of the Neapolitan collective in the eyes of its leaders. With this in mind and still according to our indiscretions, ADL, close to the player’s representative, has, today, only one idea in mind: to extend its nugget.
Naples wants to extend its nugget!
Indeed, despite the numerous transfer rumors and an interest also shown by FC Barcelona, ready to play spoilsport in this matter, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is currently not considered as a candidate for departure. Worse still, Napoli intends to renew its confidence in him by considerably increasing his emoluments. While the Georgian international (28 caps, 15 goals) – qualified for Euro 2024 – today earns 1 million euros net per year, Napoli would like to offer him a salary of around 6 million net annual euros, all accompanied by a release clause estimated at 150 million euros. A big increase proving, a little more, the esteem given to the player passed by Rubin Kazan.
Interested for several months, Paris Saint-Germain therefore knows what to expect for the Georgian, author of 10 goals and 9 assists in 42 appearances in all competitions this season (39 starts). Considered as the future of the collective led by Francesco Calzona, Kvaratskhelia is, ultimately, still very far from reaching the French capital. With this in mind, we can also affirm that the Napoli decision-makers, who have absolutely no need to sell Kvaratskhelia to the highest bidder, would, on the other hand, have nothing against the idea of parting ways with Victor Osimhen. The 25-year-old Nigerian now earns around 10 million euros net per year. It now remains to be seen whether Paris Saint-Germain will change its tune in the coming weeks…
