One of the targets that had sounded for the FC Barcelona squad for next season, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, is moving away from the Blaugrana team and pointing towards Paris Saint-Germain (PSG). According to the newspaper L’Equipe, although the signing of the Napoli winger is not yet closed, the leaders of the Parisian club have decided to accelerate the process to sign the 23-year-old Georgian gem.
Luis Campos has worked closely with Luis Enrique and Nasser al-Khelaïfi to strengthen the attack after Mbappé’s departure, a void that they will need to fill with much more than just one player. The three hope to have several new signings before the new season starts at the Parc des Princes and in a recent meeting dedicated to transfer planning it was decided that the inclusion of Kvaratskhelia should be a priority.
The Georgian fits perfectly into the profile of left winger desired by Luis Enrique, bringing creativity and overflow to the wing. In recent days there have been significant advances in negotiations with PSG. A preliminary contractual agreement has been reached with the player, although the financial details have not been made public and the definitive closure of the operation still presents complications.
Despite the fact that four days ago a supposed PSG offer was leaked to the Italian media, the Parisian club has denied that the 100 million proposal is real, estimating the value of the winger closer to 60 million euros. Negotiations continue, with both parties trying to reach an agreement that could include the transfer of players in the deal.
The close relationship between PSG and Napoli, which have facilitated previous operations such as those of Fabián Ruiz, Lavezzi and Cavani, could play a key role in the conclusion of this agreement. Meanwhile, Luis Campos has begun to manage the departures of players from PSG, with the support of a Luis Enrique very involved in the process.
Goodbye to Barça
From Italy, specifically from ‘La Gazzetta dello Sport’, it was speculated that Kvaratskhelia could be one of Barça’s targets for next season when Barça ratified Xavi in the position.
The Georgian was the ideal profile for the Egarense, who wanted to strengthen the left flank in attack. In fact, in Italy they assured that the coach liked the player very much in the round of sixteen tie against Napoli, even though the Blaugrana were far superior.
Now, with Flick on the bench, the priorities would have changed to go out to the market, although Barça, which is not short of attacking talent, loses an opportunity in favor of PSG.
