Napoli is working to secure Khvicha Kvaratskhelia’s future amidst Barcelona’s interest in the winger, per La Gazzetta dello Sport.
Kvaratskhelia’s agent, Mamuka Jugeli, is in Naples awaiting talks with club president Aurelio De Laurentiis. Despite a contract until 2027, the 23-year-old seeks a salary reflecting his increased status, demanding €5 million yearly plus bonuses. De Laurentiis is reluctant to meet this, offering €4 million plus achievable bonuses, totaling €4.5 million. Jugeli seeks assurances regarding Napoli’s ambitions.
Barcelona’s interest could influence negotiations, though financial constraints limit their ability to meet De Laurentiis’s €120-130 million valuation. Napoli aims to retain Kvaratskhelia, especially with Victor Osimhen likely leaving.
