Prying Kvaratskhelia away from Naples will not be easy, though, as his current deal runs through to 2027. However, the terms of the deal are the same as when he joined from Dinamo Batumi in the summer of 2022. With Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis not desperate to enter renewal negotiations, there is a chance the Georgian could look to force a move away.

But per TMW, his agent Mamuka Jugeli said: “We are in no hurry to make a decision because Naples in Khvicha’s second home. We appreciate the care and respect that Napoli and Mr. President have shown towards Khvicha.
