Khvicha Kvaratskhelia: Napoli had said no to 100 million from Liverpool
The big goodbye could have come six months in advance.
Calciomercato Napoli: Khvicha Kvaratskhelia's farewell to the Azzurri was a small, big trauma during last January's negotiation session, but the truth is that his departure could have taken place even the previous summer. In fact, Liverpool was on his trail and, if the deal had materialized, the Neapolitan club would have cashed in a very important treasure.
This was revealed è 'Sky Sport' according to which Liverpool had offered as much as 100 million euros to Napoli to secure Kvaratskhelia. The Reds were però planning to take over the Georgian’s player’s card, leaving him on loan in Campania for another season, and then welcoming him into the squad only in 2025-2026.
Perhaps it was precisely this clause that may have caused the no from Napoli, which, according to the source, never really considered Kvaratskhelia’s departure for Liverpool under these conditions. The Georgian's farewell would then occur the following winter, that is, last January, destination PSG.
"It can be said that with the departures of Kim, Osimhen, Zielinski and now Khvicha we have lost the backbone of the team that won the Scudetto, but now è another Napoli. We have to keep working, because we know the work that allowed us to get to the top of the league. At the same time, we should not forget that we are a different group today than we were two years ago, now even more so; without another 90s piece like Kvara", Conte had said just after Kvaratskhelia’s transfer.
