Liverpool have been looking to bring in a new wide forward in the 2025 transfer interval, and the Reds have been subject to links with a move for 23-year-old Napoli star Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
The Premier League giants will be keen to bring in a dribbler who is not only good coming on the inside but also has a knack for scoring goals and making an impact in high-stakes games.
Arne Slot has been looking to put his stamp on the Reds squad after playing the ongoing campaign with a largely inherited side from his predecessor, Jurgen Klopp. However, Liverpool’s possibilities to land the player have suffered a big blow as Premier League rivals Manchester City have also registered interest in Kvaratskhelia, per Graeme Bailey on TBR Football.
Alongside the aforementioned English duo, Spanish sides Barcelona and Real Madrid are also interested in the 23-year-old winger.

With the Reds looking to focus on developing young talent and integrating dynamic players at L4, Slot could be the perfect coach to unlock Kvaratskhelia’s full potential, especially given how the Dutchman likes to play in a direct way and use his wingers in different roles depending on the state of the game. However, that being said, given the intense competition for his signatures, the Premier League leaders’ chances of landing Kvaratskhelia will largely depend on whether Slot & Co. can convince the 23-year-old that Anfield offers him the best environment to reach his potential.
