Conte Confirms Kvaratskhelia Wants Napoli Exit
Antonio Conte reveals Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has requested to leave Napoli immediately, with top European clubs showing interest.
Antonio Conte, manager of Napoli, has confirmed that star winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has formally requested to leave the club. The 23-year-old Georgian international has been pivotal for Napoli since joining in 2022, but his decision to depart has left the club in a difficult position midway through the season.
Speaking in a press conference, Conte expressed his disappointment over Kvaratskhelia's decision. 'I feel very disappointed,' Conte said. 'I spent six months trying to show him that something important could be done here. We worked on a contract renewal, but now, after six months, we are back to square one.'
Kvaratskhelia has been a standout performer for Napoli, contributing 30 goals and 29 assists in 107 appearances. His brilliance was instrumental in Napoli securing their first Serie A title in 33 years during the 2022-2023 season. However, recent developments indicate he has already agreed on personal terms with Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), with the French giants reportedly preparing a transfer bid of £67 million.
In addition to PSG, several Premier League clubs, including Manchester United, Chelsea, and Liverpool, are rumored to be monitoring the situation. Kvaratskhelia’s potential departure is expected to have a significant impact on Napoli’s title ambitions, as the club currently leads Serie A with 44 points from 19 games.
Conte, who joined Napoli in the summer of 2024, had emphasized Kvaratskhelia’s importance to his long-term project. The Georgian’s last appearance for the club came in a 1-0 victory over Venezia in December. He was notably absent from the squad in Napoli's recent 3-0 win over Fiorentina and is expected to miss their upcoming fixture against Hellas Verona.
Kvaratskhelia’s departure would mark a major blow for Napoli, who must now look to restructure their attack. The club is reportedly exploring potential replacements as they prepare for life without their star winger. For Kvaratskhelia, this move could signify the next chapter in a burgeoning career that continues to attract attention across Europe.
