Napoli star’s agent says client may leave club in massive move

The agent for Napoli star Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has admitted that his client could depart the Italian club this summer. Kvaratskhelia is widely regarded as one of the top young wingers in all of Europe currently. The reigning Serie A champions previously grabbed the Georgian playmaker for just $14.5 million back in 2022.

“I wrote down what I wanted to do, how to extend his contract and they said not to be worried, that Kvara is happy here and that we’ll talk again at the end of the season.”

Nevertheless, Kvaratskhelia’s agent, Mamuka Jugeli, claims his client’s future is not certain in Napoli. “As regards the future, we are talking with the club, we will see what will happen,” Jugeli told the Georgian edition of the Gazzetta.

“He will leave if another club presents an offer that the management will not be able to refuse. I can’t talk about a specific amount, these are De Laurentiis’s assessments. I protect…
