'Formal request': Fabrizio Romano shares exactly how much money Napoli are demanding for Khvicha Kvaratskhelia
Today at 01:15 AM
Liverpool are interested in signing Khvicha Kvaratskhelia from Napoli in this transfer window.
The Reds have been sensational under Arne Slot this season. They are on top of both, the Premier League and the Champions League tables, and are among the favourites to win both competitions.
Liverpool barely did any business in last summer’s transfer window. Federico Chiesa is the only player who was brought in and he didn’t cost a lot of money.
Arne Slot’s side have funds to spend now, and Kvaratskhelia is a target for Liverpool if he becomes available in this window.
How much money Napoli want for Liverpool target Khvicha Kvaratskhelia
TBR Football revealed recently that Liverpool are very keen to sign Kvaratskhelia and are the favourites among Premier League clubs to get him this year.
Manchester City and Arsenal are also interested in signing the Georgia international, who is one of the best players in the Serie A.
Liverpool would love to sign Kvaratskhelia, but the club that is in direct negotiations with Napoli at the moment is French champions Paris Saint-Germain.
Fabrizio Romano has revealed that negotiations over a transfer are ongoing between the two clubs, while personal terms are also being discussed.
PSG are ready to quadruple Kvaratskhelia’s wages to convince him to join them.
However, the biggest point of contention is Napoli’s demands. Romano has revealed that the Italian giants are demanding €80 million (£67m) for their star attacker.
He tweeted: “Napoli's formal request for Khvicha Kvaratskhelia remains around €80m package. Direct negotiations with Paris Saint-Germain are ongoing, as revealed today. Talks underway.
“Kvaratskhelia's camp, discussing terms with PSG as they're offering over x4 his current salary.”
Liverpool could have a secret weapon to sign Kvaratskhelia
PSG are likely the favourites to sign Kvaratskhelia in this window.
The fact that the French giants are in direct talks with Napoli as well as the player shows just how serious they are, and they definitely have the money to get him.
However, Liverpool remain interested and the Reds could have a secret weapon.
Napoli are keen on signing Federico Chiesa. That gives Michael Edwards and Richard Hughes the opportunity to use the Italian in a player-plus-cash swap deal to land Kvaratskhelia.
Yes, that is easier said than done, but it is certainly a possibility and could prove to be a great way for Liverpool to beat PSG in the race for the Georgian’s signature.
