Man City 'eye cut-price deal for Napoli star Khvicha Kvaratskhelia'

Manchester City ‘eye a cut-price deal for Napoli revelation Khvicha Kvaratskhelia’ with the Georgian winger – who tore Liverpool apart in the Champions League – ‘unconvinced about signing a new deal that includes a £65m buy-out clause’

  • Winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has shone since joining Napoli in the summer
  • The Georgian was the star of the show when the Italian club thrashed Liverpool
  • Manchester City are reportedly hopeful of bringing him in on a bargain deal

Manchester City are reportedly interested in signing red-hot Napoli winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.

Kvaratskhelia, relatively unknown before this season, has caught the eye of a number of Europe’s leading clubs after shining during his first three months in Italy. 

Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain are both said to be among his admirers and now Pep Guardiola and City have joined them, according to The Sun.

City fans will be particularly enamored with the Georgian as he has been labelled the new Georgi Kinkladze, a reference to his gifted compatriot who achieved a cult following during his time at City in the late 1990s.

He was one of the Premier League’s first talismanic overseas number 10s, and scored 22 goals for City in 122 games.

Kvaratskhelia can play across the front three and played a big role when Napoli thrashed Liverpool 4-1 in the Champions League earlier this season. 

The 21-year-old was Rubin Kazan’s star man but the Russian invasion of Ukraine allowed for his contract to be suspended. 

Kvaratskhelia was extremely impressive when Napoli thrashed Liverpool this season 

He spent a few months with Dinamo Batumi back home in Georgia last season before Napoli picked him up for a bargain £10m.

Kvaratskhelia has scored seven goals this season and Napoli are already hoping to convince him to sign a new deal that would include a £65million release clause.

However, Kvaratskhelia is believed to be unwilling to sign a new deal that could make it hard for him to leave the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona in the future. 

City are said to be thinking of swooping in and trying to purchase him at a cut price, despite the embarrassment of riches already available to Guardiola.
