'Today': Fabrizio Romano has just shared big Khvicha Kvaratskhelia update

06/27/2024 06:00 PM

Liverpool, Arsenal and Newcastle United are just three of the Premier League clubs that have been linked with Napoli’s Khvicha Kvaratskhelia in recent months.

The Reds, the Gunners and the Magpies will no doubt both be eager to bolster their ranks over the summer in pursuit of a more fruitful campaign next time round.

Liverpool and Arsenal fell just short of winning the Premier League title last term following one of the most exciting title races in recent years.

In addition, the Reds now have a new manager on board in Arne Slot, so they’ll be eager to give him all the tools he needs to hit the ground running.

As for the Gunners, they’ve improved with each passing season under Mikel Arteta, and they’ll be desperate to rubber-stamp this with a first title since 2004.

Meanwhile, Newcastle couldn’t build on their fourth-placed finish in 2023, missing out on Europe altogether this year, and will want to put this right.

With regards to links involving Kvaratskhelia, TBR Football sources recently reported that Liverpool have asked the Italian giants about signing him this summer.

Napoli apparently told Liverpool – as well as Arsenal, Newcastle, Chelsea, Manchester United and Manchester City – that the man from Tiflis is going nowhere this summer.

However, it’s worth remembering that Kvaratskhelia’s agent, Mamuka Jugeli, said he and his client would ideally like to leave Naples in the current transfer window.

Now, Fabrizio Romano has provided an update on the reported Liverpool, Arsenal and Newcastle target. And sadly, it’s not ideal for them or any other suitors.

Napoli travel to Germany to prepare Khvicha Kvaratskhelia contract proposal

Romano, speaking on his YouTube channel, said Napoli were “on a mission” today, with president Aurelio de Laurentiis going to Germany – where the player is currently on Euro 2024 duty – to prepare a contract proposal.

“For Kvaratskhelia, today Napoli were on a mission,” he said. “With the president De Laurentiis traveling to Germany to meet with the player and the agent of the player to prepare the new contract proposal.

“Talks will continue after the Euros, so Napoli are absolutely convinced to keep Kvaratskhelia and to offer him a new contract.”
