Before joining PSG and winning the Champions League, Kvaratskhelia was approached by OGC Nice in 2021-2022. The Georgian attacking midfielder, then aged 20 and brilliant with Rubin Kazan, had seduced the Nice scouts with his understanding of the game and his ability to string together big performances after The Team. But administrative difficulties, the agent not affiliated with the FFF and high financial demands prevented the transfer from materializing.
Naples quickly entered the race and finalized the transfer for €10 million in the summer of 2022, allowing Kvaratskhelia to reveal himself in Serie A and in Europe, notably during the 2022-2023 financial year where he scored 14 goals and provided as many assists. 3 years later, now at PSG, the Georgian international will return to Nice this Saturday at the Parc des Princes, for the second time since his first meeting against the Aiglons, which ended in a 3-1 victory for the Riviera club.
