Last season, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia emerged as a surprise force, aiding Napoli’s Serie A triumph, drawing attention from multiple clubs. His impressive stats—12 goals and 13 assists—played a pivotal role in ending Napoli’s 33-year title drought.

Chelsea, under Todd Boehly’s recent leadership, has developed a knack for signings, regardless of cost. Moises Caicedo’s acquisition from Brighton is a testament to this approach.

According to ESPN reports, Boehly is once again eyeing moves, closely monitoring Kvaratskhelia for a potential key signing. Although Kvaratskhelia remains under Napoli’s contract until June 2027, talks of renewal have surfaced. However, sources suggest a hefty price tag of €100 million ($109m), differing from Transfermarkt’s valuation at $93 million.

Should the pursuit of Kvaratskhelia not materialize, ESPN hints at alternative options, including Napoli’s Victor Osimhen or Brentford’s Ivan Toney.
