Manchester United will fight Liverpool for Napoli star Khvicha Kvaratskhelia
manchester united have named Rubén Amorim as Erik ten HagThe successor to the former Ajax Amsterdam boss was sacked last week. While Ruud van Nistelrooy has been tasked with holding down the fort in the meantime, Amorim's signing will take effect from November 11 and his first game in charge will be against Ipswich Town on November 24.
Although he remains contracted to Sporting Lisbon for the moment, the 39-year-old is already planning his life at United and as by TEAMtalk (quoting Caught Offside)wants them to ruin LiverpoolThe proposed signing of Napoli superstar Khvicha Kvaratskhelia in 2025. The report adds that Amorim sees him as a “special talent” who can replace South American flop Antony.
Kvaratskhelia's contract in Naples runs until June 2027 but Antonio Conte wants to be tied to newer terms, although the deal has stalled. Therefore, the source claims that Manchester United are optimistic about completing a transfer for the Georgian international in a transfer that could cost close to £90 million.
Kvaratskhelia, a complete option for Man Utd
It's about time Manchester United sign a winger who is capable of moving into the final third after relying on poor quality players like Antony and Mark Rashford. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is a perfect fit as he can play on either wing and will be a long-term option at just 23 years old.
He is an electric winger capable of taking on several defenders at the same time. Not only is Kvaratskhelia a fantastic creative outlet, but his eye for goal, coupled with the ability to finish from distance, makes him a classic star. He has been compared to Diego Maradona for his footwork, which is probably the highest respect that can be given to a player.
United will also be an attractive destination for Kvaratskhelia as he hopes to usurp Marcus Rashford on the left wing, a prospect that could prove daunting at Liverpool given the competition between Cody Gakpo and Luis Diaz. A January transfer is unlikely considering the player's importance in Conte's plans, but things could heat up next summer.
