Napoli has issued an official statement affirming that the Georgian international will not be sold during the current summer transfer window, emphasizing that he still has three years remaining on his current contract. The club’s response comes amidst speculation linking Kvaratskhelia with moves to Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona.
In an interview with Sport Imedi on Sunday, Kvaratskhelia’s agent, Mamuka Jugeli, expressed his client’s readiness to depart Napoli, stating, “We want to leave Napoli, but now we’re all waiting for the Euro 2024. With Conte, Napoli have big plans. I’m sure they will qualify for the Champions League again next season and fight for the Scudetto. But that doesn’t mean that Kvaratskhelia wants to stay there, I don’t mean it.”
Jugeli clarified, “I didn’t talk with Khvicha about this issue, the most important thing for him is the National team. Our goal is the team that plays in the Champions League. The worst thing is that if he stays here, Khvicha will lose 1 year because of that… we are worried.”
Responding directly to these statements, the 2022/23 Serie A champions released a statement on X, asserting, “In reference to the statements of Kvaratskhelia’s agent, Mamuka Jugeli, and his father Badri, Calcio Napoli reiterates that the player has a contract for another three years with the club. Kvaratskhelia is not on the market. It is not the agents or fathers who decide the future of a player under contract with Napoli but the Calcio Napoli club!!! End of the story.”
Currently, the 23-year-old is focused on representing Georgia in their debut appearance at Euro 2024. Georgia’s national team is set to face Turkey in their inaugural European Championship match on Tuesday.
