FC Barcelona seems to be making progress in their interest in Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, one of the great promises of European football. According to Italian media, the Catalan team is preparing a strategy to secure the arrival of the Georgian player, who currently plays for Napoli. Although his contract with the Italian club expires in 2027, tense negotiations for a possible renewal have opened the door to his departure next summer.
As reported by the Sport newspaper, Barcelona would have to pay around 80 million euros, a considerably lower figure than the player's current release clause of 130 million. This price adjustment is due to difficulties between Napoli and the player's entourage in reaching an agreement on his continuity. Kvaratskhelia, who currently earns a net salary of 1.5 million euros, has reportedly requested a significant increase to 6 million per season, something that the Italian club would only accept with more restrictive contractual conditions, including a much higher release clause.
Kvaratskhelia would be willing to join Barcelona
The player, aware of Barça's interest, seems determined to take a qualitative leap in his career. At 23 years old, he believes that the Spanish League is the ideal place to continue growing and values especially the opportunity to be part of an ambitious sports project led by Hansi Flick. In addition, the player is said to have prioritized this option over other clubs like PSG, who had previously tried to sign him.
Although Barcelona has not made a formal offer, the current scenario is conducive to accelerating negotiations in the coming months. However, the Blaugrana club remains cautious, examining all economic variables before taking the final step.
