Napoli Reaffirms Kvaratskhelia’s Contract Amid Transfer Speculations
In a bold statement, Napoli has reaffirmed that Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, the Georgian football sensation, is not for sale and remains under contract with the Italian club until June 2027. This announcement comes hot on the heels of comments from Kvaratskhelia’s agent, Mamuka Jugeli, suggesting that the player might be seeking a move away from Napoli after the Euro 2024 championship.
Napoli’s official statement reads, “After Kvaratskhelia’s camp statement, we want to remind that he’s under contract until June 2027. Kvaratskhelia is NOT for sale. Player’s agents do NOT decide where they are going, but it’s Napoli deciding when they are under contract.”
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia’s Performance at Napoli
Kvaratskhelia, a key figure for both Napoli and the Georgian national team, has consistently demonstrated his value on the pitch. Since joining Napoli in July 2022 for €10 million, he has been instrumental in their successes, including winning the Serie A in the 2022/2023 season. His impressive statistics for the 2023/2024 Serie A season include:
- 34 appearances
- 11 goals
- 5 assists
- A remarkable rating of 7.436363
Agent’s Comments and Transfer Speculations
The Georgian winger’s agent, Jugeli, had previously stated, “We want to leave Napoli, but now we’re all waiting for the Euro 2024. He wants to play in the Champions League.” These remarks have sparked widespread speculation about Kvaratskhelia’s future, especially as he is set to represent Georgia in their upcoming Euro 2024 match against Turkey on June 18, 2024.
Kvaratskhelia’s Impact on the Georgian National Team
Kvaratskhelia’s performance for Georgia has been noteworthy as well. During the Euro Championship Qualifications in 2023, he scored 4 goals and provided 1 assist in 9 appearances, further solidifying his reputation as one of the most promising talents in European football.
The Georgian national team, featuring prominent players such as Giorgi Mamardashvili and Zuriko Davitashvili, will undoubtedly look to Kvaratskhelia for inspiration as they compete in Euro 2024. His contributions will be crucial as Georgia aims to make a significant impact in the tournament.
Napoli’s Current Form and Future Prospects
Napoli’s squad, which includes top players like Victor Osimhen, Matteo Politano, and Giovanni Di Lorenzo, relies heavily on Kvaratskhelia’s attacking prowess. His potential departure could significantly impact the team’s dynamic, especially considering their ambitions in both domestic and European competitions.
Meanwhile, Napoli’s recent form has been a mixed bag. While they have secured decisive victories, such as a 4-1 win against Udinese and a 3-1 triumph over Verona, they have also faced setbacks, including a 2-3 loss to Inter and a 0-3 defeat by AS Roma.
Looking Ahead to Euro 2024
The football world now watches closely as the Euro 2024 kicks off and Kvaratskhelia takes the field for Georgia. His performances could not only influence his national team’s fortunes but also play a pivotal role in determining his future with Napoli. For now, Napoli’s stance is clear: Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is not for sale.
