According to Football Insider, Liverpool are planning a shock late-window bid for Napoli’s long-term target Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
The Merseyside giants have been looking for a wide forward throughout the transfer season and are hoping to make a big acquisition this summer after missing out on several top targets.
Kvaratskhelia, 23, a Georgia international, has been on Liverpool’s radar for some time due to concerns about his future at Napoli.
However, Liverpool will face a tough battle to get the Serie A superstar out of Napoli in the coming week.
The winger’s contract at the Diego Maradona Stadium runs for three years and is worth more than £70 million to his team.
Liverpool desire a long-term target Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
Kvaratskhelia was a rare bright spot in Napoli’s disastrous Serie A title defence last season, starting 42 games, scoring 11 goals, and assisting nine times.
The Georgian then played an important role in his country’s Euro 2024 campaign, guiding them to the round of 16 in their debut major international event.
Liverpool have yet to acquire a single player under new manager Arne Slot, but they appear to be close to completing a deal for fellow Georgian Giorgi Mamardashvili.
Football Insider reported (August 21) that Liverpool had reached an agreement in principle to recruit Mamardashvili from Spanish club Valencia.
