Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has expressed admiration for Napoli, labeling them as “one of the premier clubs globally,” amidst ongoing speculation linking him with Barcelona ahead of the summer transfer window. Despite the turbulent atmosphere surrounding Napoli, the 23-year-old Georgian winger has maintained an impressive performance this season, scoring 10 goals and contributing five assists in 26 Serie A appearances. Under Francesco Calzona’s management, his form has notably flourished, evidenced by scoring in his last three league matches.

Despite the transfer rumors linking him with Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain, Kvaratskhelia remains on the initial contract he signed upon joining Napoli from Dinamo Batumi in 2022, positioning him as one of the squad’s lowest earners.

During an interview with Versus at the Adidas ‘Generation Pred’ advertising event via TMW, Kvaratskhelia spoke fondly of his experience playing for Napoli. He expressed his delight at the passionate support from Napoli fans, citing the club’s rich history and legendary players like Maradona as significant factors that make Napoli one of the world’s elite clubs. He also touched upon the honor of being dubbed “Kvaradona” by fans, acknowledging the comparison to Maradona while humbly recognizing the Argentine legend’s unparalleled status in football history.

Reflecting on his Champions League experience, Kvaratskhelia described it as a dream come true, emphasizing the surreal feeling of hearing the anthem and the overwhelming support from Napoli fans. Despite the admiration and pressure that come with being considered one of Europe’s best players, Kvaratskhelia remains grounded, understanding the responsibility of being a role model for aspiring young footballers and striving to give his best both on and off the pitch.
