He’s dazzled defenders across Italy and captivated fans with his daring runs. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, the 23-year-old Georgian winger at Napoli, has become a magnet for transfer speculation, with reports linking him to Paris Saint-Germain.

Insiders suggest PSG might be willing to pay close to $90 million, potentially sweetening the deal by including center-back Milan Skriniar. Napoli’s leadership, known for tough negotiating, has yet to clarify if they’ll take that offer seriously.
Kvaratskhelia’s contract talks have dragged on for months, and many now wonder if the uncertainty is edging him closer to an exit.
Can PSG Seal the Deal?
He has been one of Serie A’s most electrifying players, scoring crucial goals and delivering assists that powered Napoli to new heights. He arrives at the penalty area with unexpected timing, uses quick directional shifts to bypass opponents, and times his runs so cleanly that defenders often look stranded.
Some fans in Naples see him as a future icon, yet PSG’s ambitions remain formidable. With Milan Skriniar possibly heading in the opposite direction, Napoli could strengthen a defensive line that’s dealt with injuries this season. But there are whispers that Skriniar is seeking a salary at least on par with what he earns in Paris, which adds another layer of complexity to the negotiations.
People close to the talks have dropped hints about a January agreement. Rumors of a $9 million base salary plus performance incentives have floated around, although Kvaratskhelia’s camp has stayed silent. Some insiders suspect he’s curious about testing himself on a bigger European stage, especially if it means a shot at regularly contending for continental honors. Others believe Napoli won’t let him go without one last push to renew, even if the club’s initial offers haven’t matched his expectations.
From a purely sporting standpoint, it’s tempting to imagine Kvaratskhelia linking up with PSG’s attacking talents. He could thrive in a system where he’s free to cut inside or drive down the wing, taking on fullbacks in a league known for its athletic style. Yet the timing isn’t ideal for Napoli, a club that doesn’t want to lose a major star while chasing silverware.
