Napoli Sporting Director Cristiano Giuntoli has insisted winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia won’t be leaving, amid claims Liverpool have been watching him closely.
Speaking with Sport Express, the club official asserted that under no circumstance would they let the 21-year-old depart.
“No, there’s no chance we will let him go,” he said.
“It doesn’t depend on the fee or on the proposal; he will just stay with us.”
According to CalcioMercato, both the Reds and Manchester City have been paying ‘great attention’ to the Georgian attacker.
The Daily Star, on the other hand, claim Jurgen Klopp’s side will battle Chelsea to the youngster’s signature.
Napoli director says Kvaratskhelia won’t leave
Having only welcomed the youngster to Naples this summer from Dinamo Batumi, it appears the Italian club secured themselves a massive bargain with his £9m arrival.
In 17 appearances for Luciano Spalletti’s side this term, the 21-year-old has sensationally bagged eight goals and ten assists.
As a result, Kvaratskhelia has been rated as Napoli’s best player thus far this season, having averaged an impressive 7.38 match rating in the Serie A.
Following this, strong transfer interest has emerged. The winger has been linked with various £50m moves across Europe, but everyone at the club denies any possibility of this taking place.
At such a young age, Kvaratskhelia’s potential is incredible. Although this is his very first season playing in a top-five league, he is already showing he is more than capable of performing at the highest level.
Therefore, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see Liverpool make a move to sign him later down the line.
