Barcelona’s interest in Napoli winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has been highlighted, with journalist Roger Torello suggesting potential competition from Chelsea and Manchester City, as per Mundo Deportivo.
The Georgian winger made a significant move from Dinamo Batumi to Napoli in the summer of 2022 for €13.3 million. His impact was immediate, contributing to Napoli’s Serie A triumph in his debut season alongside Victor Osimhen.
With 20 goals and 22 assists in 74 appearances for Napoli and a commendable international record of 15 goals and seven assists in 28 caps for Georgia, Kvaratskhelia has impressed on all fronts.
His performances in the current season, notably leading the Champions League group stage in dribbles with 44, have drawn attention.
He has contributed six goals and five assists in 31 appearances across competitions.
While Barcelona’s priority lies in reinforcing their midfield and defense, they remain open to bolstering their left-wing position, contingent on circumstances. Kvaratskhelia’s market value is estimated at €80 million, and he is contracted with Napoli until 2027.
Reports also suggest interest from Manchester City and Chelsea. With Barcelona set to face Napoli in the Champions League Round of 16, they will have a firsthand opportunity to assess Kvaratskhelia’s abilities during their upcoming fixture in Naples on February 21.
