Chelsea and Liverpool discover huge fee for Khvicha Kvaratskhelia as agent speaks out on Napoli star’s future

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia could cost as much as £86million should Napoli choose to sell the star winger next summer.

Chelsea and Liverpool are just two clubs to have been linked with the 21-year-old, who has bagged eight goals and ten assists since a move from Dinamo Batuni.

Napoli fans have already dubbed Kvaratskhelia as ‘Kvaradona’, in a likening to their club legend Diego Maradona.

After paying only £8.6m for his services from Georgian club Batuni, the player having left Rubin Kazan amid Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Kvaratskhelia’s agent Christian Emile has predicted a potentially massive profit for Napoli.

“You know what’s crazy, he’s done what he’s been in doing in Russia and Europe for the past couple of years,” he told Fabrizio Romano’s YouTube channel.

“He’s come to Napoli, he’s been brilliant, and people are talking about 100m euros.

“For me, if he continues to perform like this till the end of the season and next season, because there’s a zero per cent chance they sell him [in January]. He will reach 100m euros for sure.”
