Antonio Conte was the first fan of Khvicha Kvaratkshelia right from the start. He specifically asked Aurelio De Laurentiis to keep him in the squad, as a sine qua non to sign the contract and be Napoli’s coach. So the President said no to 100 million euros from Paris Saint Germain, tried to renew his contract, planned a trip to Germany to talk to the Georgian and look for an agreement, with a proposal of around 5 million euros plus bonuses .
However, Kvara is now aiming even higher, around 8 million. Napoli will still have two years left on his contract and, after the Osimhen affair, the possibility of him being sold is not at all remote – as anticipated a few days ago here – therefore one year of Kvaratskhelia could be enough for Conte because, eventually, he would be replaceable even with some difficulties.
These are the words of yesterday’s coach. “Does it bother me? We’ve been talking about it for a while, there’s certainly a discussion between the club and the player’s entourage and the player himself. Going into precise details… there’s the club and the sporting director, they will possibly talk to them about the figures. I can say, what I ask of Kvicha, is that he continues to do what he is doing, focused on the season, he is serious, professional, exemplary, this season is very important for us, then I hope that things can improve. settle by finding an agreement, but I also know that in football anything can happen and there must be an agreement that satisfies everyone. I don’t see any problems, whoever lives will see.”
