Man Utd, PSG €85M-Rated Transfer Target Prioritizes Napoli Extension Over January Move | OneFootball

Napoli’s Khvicha Kvaratskhelia could be on the move this year with several suitors keen on him. The 23-year-old is under contract until 2027 and has yet to extend his contract, resulting in these rumors.

It was recently reported by Sport Mediaset that Manchester United are preparing to challenge Napoli for Georgian winger Kvaratskhelia. The report suggests that sporting director Dan Ashworth is ready to offer a five-year deal worth €8 million net annually. This would see Kvaratskhelia earning £128,500 per week after tax, amounting to £33.4 million across the contract.

Meanwhile, La Gazzetta dello Sport reported that Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona are intensifying their pursuit of Kvaratskhelia, increasing the pressure on Napoli to finalize a deal before next summer.

Manchester United’s pursuit of Napoli star Kvaratskhelia faces stiff competition, with Liverpool also keeping tabs on the Georgian winger, according to a report from TEAMtalk on Sunday.

Kvaratskhelia remains a cornerstone of Napoli’s squad, but his performances have sparked interest from several Premier League giants. Recent discussions between Manchester United and Napoli reportedly touched on Marcus Rashford’s future and included inquiries about Kvaratskhelia as a potential replacement, placing him firmly on United’s shortlist.

Despite the growing speculation, a January move appears unlikely. Kvaratskhelia is currently focused on negotiating a contract extension with Napoli, with coach Antonio Conte and the club working to align with his expectations.

Should those talks fail to yield an agreement in the coming months, the winger could consider exploring his options in the summer transfer window, setting up a potential bidding war among Europe’s elite.

Transfermarkt puts the winger’s value at €85 million, so the player will cost a significant amount for any club that wins this transfer sweepstakes.
