Liverpool He has reportedly held talks with Napoli over a deal to sign Napoli star Khvicha Kvaratskhelia this summer, according to the transfer journalist Graeme Bailey.
After moving to the Diego Armando Maradona stadium in 2022, the 23-year-old enjoyed a stellar debut campaign in the Italian top flight, helping his team win the Scudetto.

However, Exterior wall says Napoli have made it clear that they will not allow the Georgian to leave this summer, so the Reds are unlikely to go ahead with a deal to sign Kvaratskhelia unless the Azzurri change their stance.
It has also been mentioned that, apart from Liverpool, Arsenal, Newcastle UnitedEdit, manchester united, Chelsea and city of manchester They have also expressed their interest in signing him.
Kvaratskhelia, valued at around £68 million by Transfer marketHe is under contract until 2027 with Napoli, so Liverpool will have to pay a huge fee to lure the striker to Anfield this summer.
Kvaratskhelia likes to play on the left flank, so he would be an ideal option to replace Diaz should they cash in on him this summer. The Napoli star is quick, technically sound, can dribble past opposing defenders in tight areas, has the ability to connect play and can also create opportunities for his attacking teammates.
The 23-year-old is already a top-level player and has yet to reach his peak, so signing a player of his qualities at this age would be a huge coup for Liverpool should they secure his signature.
