Napoli and star winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia have been at odds over the Georgian’s contract for some time, and negotiations over his new deal are pointing in the direction of an exit from the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona. Barcelona are one of the candidates to sign him.
According to GdS, as carried by Sport, Kvaratskhelia’s agents have been in contact with Barcelona to see if they would be interested in negotiating for him next summer. Napoli have offered him a five-year deal with a top cap of €5m per year, up from his current €1.2m per season. That is in the region of what Kvaratskhelia’s agents are demanding, but under no circumstances are they considering signing it with the condition of a €130m release clause that Napoli want to include.
Earlier this week it was revealed that Barcelona had shortlisted Kvaratskhelia as their top alternative to Nico Williams, who remains their priority target for the left-wing position next summer.
