Report: Kvaratskhelia sold to PSG for €70M

Paris Saint-Germain are signing Napoli winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia for around €70 million, according to transfer insider Fabrizio Romano.

Kvaratskhelia, one of Napoli's protagonists in their Scudetto-winning season, requested a transfer from the club last week.

PSG are now set to seal a transfer they reportedly had in the works for some time. Kvaratskhelia is set earn four-to-five times his current annual salary of around €2 million, according to Romano.

Napoli manager Antonio Conte said Saturday he was "disappointed" he couldn't convince Kvaratskhelia to stay.

"It's been six months that I've been trying to make him feel at the heart of our project and showing him with the arrival of other players that we can still do something special here," Conte told reporters.

"There was a contract that was supposed to be renewed. Obviously I didn't do enough to convince both parties to carry on together. I'll take a step back because I can't keep chained up a player who doesn't want to stay."

Napoli reportedly offered Kvaratskhelia a raise to €6 million per season. His contract was set to expire in June 2027.

The 23-year-old hasn't been the same player since title-winning manager Luciano Spalletti left the Partenopei at the end of the 2022-23 season. Kvaratskhelia has scored just five Serie A goals this season and began to lose playing time to summer signing David Neres.

PSG were reportedly interested in signing Kvaratskhelia and Napoli's other Scudetto winner, Victor Osimhen, for as much as €200 million last summer. The price for both seems to have come down significantly. Osimhen, now on loan at Galatasaray, has a release clause of €90 million, down from €120 million last summer.

His release clause will drop to €75 million in the summer.

Napoli are reportedly considering Roma's Lorenzo Pellegrini, Porto's Galeno, and Manchester United's Alejandro Garnacho as potential replacements for Kvaratskhelia.
