Paris Saint-Germain fans may wait longer than expected to watch new signing Khvicha Kvaratskhelia in action, thanks to a quirk of UEFA Champions League rules.
Italian director Walter Sabatini believes Napoli made the 'wisest' choice by selling Khvicha Kvaratskhelia to Paris Saint-Germain, but he is 'unconvinced'
Napoli ’s sporting director Giovanni Manna insisted the Italian club won’t overpay for Manchester United winger Alejandro Garnacho in the final days of the January transfer window.
Paris Saint-Germain and Napoli, in the negotiations for Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, have also spoken about Victor Osimhen, as a possible operation for the summer, TEAMtalk can reveal.
Personal terms are said to have been agreed but Napoli, who have also retained an interest in fellow United misfit Marcus Rashford, will warn United that they are not prepared to wait around for an answer. United are not opposed to parting company with a player whose sale would represent pure profit given his status as a homegrown talent.
This significant offer reflects PSG's financial strength and determination to acquire the young Colombian striker. The bid also highlights the considerable increase in Durán's market value since Aston Villa extended his contract to 2030.
Chelsea are considering a daring approach to ruin an agreed deal and sign a top-class forward, sources have told TEAMtalk.
Kvaratskhelia joined Napoli in a €13.3m transfer from Dinamo Batumi in the summer of 2022. He was voted Serie A 's most valuable player in 2022-23 after he scored 12 goals and set up 13 more in 34 league games in his first campaign to help the club win its first Scudetto in 33 years.
Ruben Amorim ’s side were comfortably beaten by Brighton last weekend and they sit 13th in the Premier League table. A late winner against Rangers in midweek has lifted the mood somewhat, but there has been little for United to get excited about and significant recruitment in the final week of the transfer window appear unlikely.
Garnacho faces a crucial decision. Staying at Manchester United offers familiarity but potentially limited playing time. A move to Napoli presents a chance for a starring role in Serie A, but also a new environment.
Napoli are reportedly eyeing Ademola Lookman to replace PSG-bound Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. How does the two wingers compare in stats in Serie A this season.
Napoli have confirmed their interest in signing Alejandro Garnacho before the January transfer window deadline.
