PSG sign Kvaratskhelia from Napoli in biggest deal of January window
Georgia striker Khvicha Kvaratskhelia on Friday signed for Paris Saint-Germain for an undisclosed fee from Italian league leaders Napoli, the French champions announced.
"Paris Saint-Germain is pleased to announce the signing of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. The 23-year-old winger, who will wear number seven, becomes the first Georgian player in the club's history," said a PSG statement.
The move comes 24 hours after the 23-year-old posted a video on social media telling Napoli fans "it's hard for me but it's time to say goodbye."
The 2023 Scudetto winner, who arrived at Napoli in 2022 as a bargain buy from Dinamo Batumi, was voted Serie A's best player that season.
Kvaratskhelia scored 30 goals and provided 29 assists in 107 matches in all competitions for Napoli.
