Luis Enrique promised his team would be better without Kylian Mbappé. But to achieve this, the capital club, leader in Ligue 1 but struggling in the Champions League, still intends to make some adjustments to its squad during the next transfer market. A few days ago, The Team revealed that the residents of the Parc des Princes will not refrain from making a move if a good opportunity arises, particularly on the South American market, as was the case last year with Lucas Beraldo and Gabriel Moscardo. But the priority for Luis Campos and the club is above all to strengthen in three positions. Thus, the French champions would like to recruit a left back.
Backfire for Kvara
Still in defense, they plan to solidify the right axis, particularly with the possible departure of Milan Skriniar to Juventus in January. Finally, the team chaired by Nasser Al-Khelaïfi wishes to recruit a left winger, who would compete with Bradley Barcola. The Frenchman is Luis Enrique’s best element this season. But he is not yet decisive enough in the Champions League. In addition, Luis Enrique, who relies on Désiré Doué as an understudy, does not have a sufficiently interesting alternative at the moment. After failing to find a left winger during the last summer transfer window, Paris Saint-Germain intends to succeed this winter.
And the Ile-de-France residents already have a name in mind. A well-known name since it is the player who was already on their shelves last summer, namely Kvicha Kvaratskhelia. The Georgian’s entourage, who had not hidden the footballer’s desire to say yes to Paris, had communicated with the Parisian management during the previous transfer window. Strongly desired by Luis Enrique, the 23-year-old ultimately stayed in Naples. An extension of his contract, which currently runs until June 2027, was and still is in the pipeline. Recently, Antonio Conte, whom Kvara greatly appreciates according to him, spoke on the subject.
Extend or leave?
“There is an ongoing negotiation between the club and the player’s entourage, we cannot go into details. What I ask Khvicha is to continue doing what he is doing, to concentrate on the season. He is an exemplary professional and we are experiencing a very important season. I hope that everything resolves in the best way for the club, the player and his agent, but I also know that in football anything can happen. Especially when PSG is around. This Thursday, the Gazzetta dello Sport assures that the French club, which offered €100 million for him a few months ago, is still very interested in the idea of recruiting Kvaratskhelia in January, or next summer at the latest.
Author of 5 goals and 2 assists in 14 matches in all competitions this season, the Georgian is also appreciated by Barça. There GoS also specifies that Luis Enrique and Hansi Flick are ready to do crazy things to enlist him. But it will also be necessary to convince Naples and its president Aurelio De Laurentiis. Renowned for being tough in business, the Napoli boss will soon see the Kvara clan in the United States to discuss the famous issue of his contract extension. A file that drags on, since the player wants his salary to be increased. There is therefore a loophole that PSG intends to fall into while ADL has set the price of its player at more than €100 million. NAK and its teams have been warned!
