Napoli moves from words to deeds with its ace Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and, after the new coach Antonio Conte publicly shielded him during the presentation press conference, he is trying to give the decisive boost for the renewal of the Georgian’s contract by moving directly towards Germany. In the last few hours, president De Laurentiis, accompanied by the directors Manna and Chiavelli, went to Dusseldorf where he spoke with the player and his agent Jugeli, reiterating his centrality in the technical project of restart under Conte. A meeting that is defined and described as positive, in which Kvara himself is said to have agreed.
All this after celebrating the historic access to the round of 16 of Euro 2024 with his Georgia and having scared the Napoli fans a bit with the post-match interview: “I don’t know yet, I respect him because he’s one of the best coaches in the world but I want to take a little more time to decide. I respect Napoli, I love Napoli but I still don’t know how to give a certain answer about my future”.
Mister Conte expressed himself on the topic as follows: “It remains. No because I feel doubts. I repeat, there is no need to have them. I have been very categorical about this. I wouldn’t even want this refrain to happen again in the future. The president gave him this wonderful news. Kvaratskhelia is a player that there are fewer and fewer with these characteristics, which is why it’s not a whim to want to keep Kvara, I consider him a really strong player, like Di Lorenzo.”
