Liverpool have a busy summer ahead of them on the transfer front as the Arne Slot era begins at Anfield.
After Jurgen Klopp stepped down at the end of the season, the Reds have named Slot to succeed him in the Anfield dugout.
Slot, Richard Hughes, and Michael Edwards will aim to preserve the standard that Klopp established while building on the foundations he laid.
As one of the Premier League’s premier clubs, Liverpool has been connected with a number of world-class players in recent weeks.
One alleged Reds target has just begun his Euro 2024 campaign, having helped his country qualify for the tournament for the first time.
Micah Richards hails Liverpool target Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
The player in question is Khvicha Kvaratskhelia of Napoli and Georgia, who Liverpool recently approached, according to TBR Football sources.
Kvaratskhelia, who won Serie A with Napoli just over a year ago, helped his country qualify for Euro 2024 by defeating Greece on penalties in a playoff in March.
Georgia played their first big tournament game on Tuesday night, facing Turkey in Group F in Dortmund.
Prior to the game, Micah Richards praised Kvaratskhelia, telling BBC One (18/6/2024, 4:34pm): “What he has done for Napoli over the last couple of seasons, he is a top top player.”
The 23-year-old did not have a particularly good game against Turkey, who defeated the tournament debutants 3-1.
Nonetheless, Kvaratskhelia has established himself at the highest level and will be eager to make an impact in Georgia’s games against Czechia and Portugal.
What is the current transfer situation involving Liverpool and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia?
According to TBR Football sources, Liverpool has approached Napoli about signing Kvaratskhelia this summer, despite player anxiety about his future.
Mamuka Jugeli, the player’s agent, has stated that his client would prefer to leave Naples ahead of the new season.
However, Napoli is said to have informed Liverpool that Kvaratskhelia will not be leaving this summer.
Newcastle, Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United, and Manchester City are all rumored to be interested in the midfielder.
They are thought to have received the similar response from Napoli.
