The line will be hard. In the name of clarity and respect for the contract that binds Khvicha Kvaratskhelia to Napoli until 2027. The position taken by Aurelio De Laurentiis’ club is firm: no possibility of transfer this year for the Georgian striker. Who instead would really like to go to Paris Saint Germain, an intention also flaunted by his entourage in recent times.

Napoli was clear. It does not give the green light to a contract that is not expiring. Thursday’s meeting in Germany between the parties was calm but not decisive in dissolving the player’s desire to go to Paris Saint Germain already this summer. The president De Laurentiis, the CEO Chiavelli and sporting director Manna went on a private flight to Dusseldorf, the headquarters of Georgia, to meet Kvara and his agent Mamuka Jugeli. To reiterate to the Georgian striker his centrality in the project that is taking shape under the guidance of Antonio Conte. A gesture that was appreciated by Kvara and his agent, also because it proved useful for speaking to each other directly, for clarifying some situations and above all for reactivating a relationship that in recent times had inevitably been affected by the tensions resulting from Napoli’s unhappy results after the triumphal ride of the championship. All is well in terms of the harmony found in the relationship, but Kvara has not put aside his intentions to leave Napoli to go to Paris Saint Germain. A plan that clashes with the technical program of Antonio Conte who, in his official presentation at the Royal Palace, reiterated: «Kvara remains, there is no doubt. He is a player with important characteristics, there are fewer and fewer like him, wanting to keep him is not a whim. He is strong one-on-one and a playmaker. He must not risk losing his mental freedom, we will enhance his qualities by supporting them.” On the occasion, president De Laurentis specified: «There are no problems with the player because we have a contract. After the European Championship we will make him a proposal for a contractual adjustment and I don’t see any problems…”.

In the background is the PSG proposal delivered to Kvara. A salary of 11 million per season for a 4-5 year agreement. Also considering Osimhen’s expected departure, Napoli wants to recognize the 23-year-old Georgian’s role as leader in Napoli’s attack. A position that should also be reflected in the club’s desire to proceed with the renewal. In this sense, at the end of the European Championship, a proposal will be made to Kvara’s agent to extend the contract signed two years ago and expiring in 2027. Napoli has long been willing to adapt the contract current salary (1.5 million euros per season). Kvara’s request to renew is around a salary of six million per season with bonuses. Napoli, having started with an offer of around 4 million, intends to come as close as possible to the Georgian’s requests. But the point is that a renewal proposal will be made and we’ll see. If it is not accepted, the line is to move forward following the contact expiring in 2027. Napoli has chosen a tough but clear position: Kvaratskhelia will not go away.
