Liverpool are set to prioritise a deal for Khvicha Kvaratskhelia next summer as the Reds are planning to make a big money offer for the Napoli star.
According to Fichajes, Liverpool have identified Khvicha Kvaratskhelia as their top attacking target for next summer. The club will reportedly prioritise a move for the Georgian winger with a big offer already in the works, as the Napoli star will likely move amid big interest from the Premier League.
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia’s time at Napoli is likely to run its course at the end of the current season, when the club will reluctantly part ways. That’s not to say they do not want to keep him, but they are aware of the growing interest in the winger, who is already considered one of the greatest recent talents at the club.
Napoli will demand a big fee to sell Kvaratskhelia next summer, with the winger’s current deal running until 2027. Hence, the Italian club will have no reason to demand anything less than their valuation of the attacker, with the 24-year-old Serie A star set to have several offers on his table.
Manchester City are one of the clubs keen alongside Liverpool, while Arsenal are also thought to be keen on the winger. All of those clubs are keen to strengthen their left side of the attacking third, as Kvaratskhelia is one of the best options available in that position.
Manchester United are also keen, with Ruben Amorim likely to push for a star winger on the left side now that Marcus Rashford has confirmed his desire to quit. However, among all the clubs keen, Liverpool appears to be the one keen on pushing to sign Kvaratskhelia.
Liverpool to make Kvaratskhelia offer
The report states that Liverpool are open to paying €80 million to sign Kvaratskhelia next summer, although it remains to be seen if Napoli will accept a bid in that range. The Serie A giants are certain to demand significantly higher than that, meaning the Reds may have to dig deeper to find a solution.
Kvaratskhelia prefers a Champions League side over others, meaning as Liverpool prioritises a move for the 24-year-old Serie A star, they will have a goopd chance to convince him. The level of competition for the Georgian is expected to be high next summer, meaning Napoli will likely use the occasion to get the best possible deal in the market for their star man.
