“We’ve been talking about it for a while, there’s an ongoing discussion between the club and the entourage. He’s serious and professional, I don’t see any problems and whoever lives will see.” Thus Antonio Conte a month ago, at a press conference, when asked a specific question about the future of Kvicha Kvaratskhelia. Since then, things haven’t changed much even if the topic has remained topical, brought up perhaps with every dull performance by a talent with 5 goals and 2 assists in 13 games or more simply with every new transfer rumor . Juxtapositions that in the media cannot fail to accompany a triple-digit ticket item last summer up until Antonio Conte’s request for non-transferability.
Yet another rumor
For some time the number one comparison has been with PSG, already very strong on the Georgian in the summer with a double offer also for Osimhen before Conte’s stop. In the last period there has also been a lot of talk about Barcelona but the latest rumors concern the inclusion of Manchester United, in the summer determined to bring closer the double-digit salary offer already made by the Parisians last summer. Interests, surveys and courtships that have been going on for some time with the player’s entourage, not surprisingly still rather stuck with Napoli despite the efforts of the Neapolitan club.
The negotiation with Napoli
Kvaratskhelia is tied to the Italian club until 2027, but with a contract that is too low for someone like him (even if indexed, so it automatically rose above one and a half million). Too little for someone like him, but Napoli have long been ready to increase – with bonuses – up to 6 million euros. The counter-request would appear to be around 8 million euros, but mostly with the inclusion of a clause to be calibrated. We could thus postpone everything to the summer when, with the offers on the table, the player’s will will be understood first and foremost. “We want to reward him, but if he doesn’t unlock it, we will postpone it until the summer”, is the latest admission from sporting director Manna.
