Comments from Khvicha Kvaratskhelia’s agent and father on Sunday are fueling speculation about his possible departure. However, Napoli have responded to their remarks in a firm manner.
The Serie A side does not desire to let the player go, emphasizing that his contract still has three years left. The 23-year-old is reportedly on the radar of Liverpool, as his agent stated a few weeks ago, and Paris Saint-Germain, who likely view the player as a replacement for Kylian Mbappé.
However, it seems Napoli are gearing up for the 2023-24 season under their new manager, Antonio Conte, and including Kvaratskhelia in their plans.
“Napoli reiterates the player has a contract for another three years,” the statement said. “Kvaratskhelia is not on the market. It is not on agents or fathers to decide the future of a player under contract with Napoli, but the club! End of the story.”

Kvaratskhelia made 45 total appearances this past 2023-24 season, scoring 11 goals and registering nine assists. The winger also played a major role in Napoli’s 2023 Serie A title win.
It will be interesting to see how this saga plays out. It appeared to have lost steam, but these latest remarks have revived Kvaratskhelia, potentially heading to PSG.
