For several days, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has been Paris Saint-Germain’s top priority for this winter transfer window. The talented Georgian winger from Naples, considered one of the most promising players in Europe, was until then an essential part of the Neapolitan project. But a decisive turning point took place this weekend, making its future even more uncertain.
Conte’s big announcement: Kvaratskhelia wants to leave
During a press conference, Antonio Conte, the coach of Naples, confirmed that Kvaratskhelia has requested to leave the club. “He was told to me by the club and he confirmed it to me himself: he wants to be transferred. It’s a big disappointment for me,” declared Conte, visibly marked by this decision. According to him, the Georgian winger was not convinced by the Neapolitan project, despite the coach’s efforts to make him a central figure in the team.
This announcement undoubtedly marks the end of Kvaratskhelia’s adventure in Naples, where he shone last season. Absent from the group for the match against Verona, the player already seems to be preparing his departure.
PSG in pole position to recruit the Georgian
With this declaration, the way now seems clear for Paris Saint-Germain, who are best placed to welcome Kvaratskhelia. The Parisian club would be ready to offer a substantial sum to secure the transfer this January. The player would be seduced by the idea of joining Luis Enrique’s squad and playing alongside stars like Barcola and Hakimi. According to RMC Sport, there is an agreement between the Ile-de-France residents and the player and all that remains is to convince the Partenopei to release their member.
The departure of Kvaratskhelia, described as a “bolt of thunder” by Conte, could be made official in the coming days. One thing is certain: his arrival at PSG seems more and more likely, and Parisian supporters can already dream of seeing the Georgian set foot on the lawn of the Parc des Princes.
