Barcelona, Liverpool, Manchester United, Manchester City, and Paris Saint-Germain are reportedly monitoring Napoli winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia closely.
Contract extension talks between Kvaratskhelia and Napoli have hit a standstill, fueling speculation about a potential transfer in 2025.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, PSG and Barcelona are intensifying their pursuit of the Georgian star, increasing pressure on Napoli to finalize a deal before the summer.
Manchester City are looking to strengthen their attack, particularly on the wings, due to the inconsistent performances of Jack Grealish and Jérémy Doku,according to Fichajes.
The report suggests that City have already contacted the representatives of Kvaratskhelia and consider themselves strong contenders for his signature. Regarded as a “perfect” fit for Pep Guardiola’s system, Kvaratskhelia is valued at £83 million (€100 million).

“On this matter, we are also calm. Wemeet with all our players’ agents; it was a meeting like many others, and we talked about a lot of things. Mati is having a good season, and we are very happy.”
