Barcelona have shown great interest in him, but all indications are that he will sign a contract extension that runs until 2028.
Barcelona is gearing up for the summer transfer market with a strategic focus on acquiring a pivot midfielder and a left winger, identifying these positions as crucial for bolstering the squad ahead of the upcoming season.
Among their top targets for the left-wing position is Napoli’s dynamic forward, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. The Georgian international has captured Barcelona’s attention due to his exceptional dribbling skills, pace, and impact in attacking plays.
However, Barcelona’s pursuit of Kvaratskhelia for the next transfer window is complicated by the club’s financial constraints, and the challenge is becoming even steeper. SPORT has reported that Kvaratskhelia has initiated contract renewal discussions with Napoli.
Despite the growing interest in him, Napoli is keen on retaining Kvaratskhelia for at least another year and has commenced negotiations for a contract renewal.
Kvaratskhelia’s current agreement with the Serie A title-holders is valid until 2027. Yet, in comparison to his teammates, his salary is on the lower side.
In response, Napoli is suggesting a new contract that would significantly increase his salary and extend his stay until 2028. The discussions are reportedly progressing well.
The proposed contract might also incorporate a release clause, designed to be fair and feasible, facilitating a future departure that benefits all involved parties.
Barcelona remains well-informed about Kvaratskhelia’s status at Napoli. While they hold him in high regard and acknowledge his talents, they also perceive some inconsistency in his performances.
Despite Barcelona’s interest, current indications suggest that Kvaratskhelia is likely to extend his tenure at Napoli.
