Liverpool eyes the signing of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia
Liverpool They have reportedly set their sights on signing Napoli striker Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, according to a Spanish outlet. Transfers.
The 23-year-old, who joined the Azzurri in 2022, has shown his qualities in Serie A of late. In his debut campaign at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium, he helped Napoli win the Scudetto.
Although the Italian team struggled last season, the striker showed excellent performances, contributing 17 goals in 32 starts in Serie A. Now, he has had a brilliant first half of this season so far, scoring five goals and registering three assists .
Transfers They claim that, impressed by the Georgian's “spectacular” recent performances in the Italian top flight, Liverpool have shown interest in him and are “willing to invest” around £66 million to lure him to Anfield.
Napoli does not want to sell him, who has a contract until 2027, but could be tempted to accept the proposal if Liverpool present it. The player could be tempted to join the Reds if they formalized their interest.
Kvaratskelia to Liverpool
The striker is a left winger by nature, but can also provide cover in the centre-forward position if necessary. He is fast, technically sound, can dribble past opposing defenders in tight areas, has a good eye for long-distance passes and is also efficient at connecting play.
The Georgian is a talented player and has great potential, so could be a smart acquisition for the Merseyside club if they secure his signature.
However, Liverpool already have Luis Díaz and Cody Gakpo at their disposal, plus new summer signing Federico Chiesa can also play on the left wing. Therefore, Arne Slot's team does not have to spend a lot of money to sign a new left back.
On the other hand, considering Mohamed SalahThe future remains uncertain at the club, signing a new right winger to replace him would be the right decision if Liverpool eventually decide to part ways with him at the end of this season.
However, it will be interesting to see if Liverpool finally make a concrete decision to buy the Napoli star next year.
Meanwhile, following a 2-1 win over Southampton in the EFL Cup quarter-finals, the Slot team will travel to north London to take on Tottenham Hotspur in the first division on Sunday.
