Fabrizio Romano shares Khvicha Kvaratskhelia transfer update as Antonio Conte confirms he can leave Napoli
Liverpool are just one of the clubs that have been linked with Napoli star Khvicha Kvaratskhelia this month.
David Ornstein recently reported that Liverpool were open to making a move for the Georgian star in case he became available.
Now, Kvaratskhelia has indeed become available, with Antonio Conte confirming that the Napoli ace is set to leave the Serie A club this month.
“He asked the club to be sold, without mincing his words,” Conte said, as per . “This is what was said to me, the player has confirmed his decision to me.”
Fabrizio Romano has now provided an update on the Kvaratskhelia situation in wake of the Napoli head coach’s bombshell.

Paris Saint-Germain ‘clear favourites’ for Khvicha Kvaratskhelia ahead of Liverpool and other suitors
Romano, speaking on his YouTube channel, claimed that Paris Saint-Germain are now “clear favourites” for Kvaratskhelia – ahead of Liverpool and other suitors.
He also played down reports of a potential swap deal involving Kvaratskhelia and Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford.
And while the race isn’t over yet, Romano added that PSG are in direct talks with Napoli and have reached an agreement with the player’s agent.
“At the moment it’s not a done deal, but PSG are the clear favourites,” said Romano.
“We heard of a swap deal, Napoli Man United for Rashford… Napoli are not in the mix for Marcus Rashford.
“We heard of other clubs in England, it’s obvious for many clubs to call and ask for the situation of Kvaratskhelia when they saw the news of (him) being available on the market.
“But from what I’m told PSG remain the favourites. They reached an agreement with the agent of the player on the salary.
“The salary will be four, five times better than the current salary offered by Napoli, so imagine how higher it will be.
“It’s also important to mention that PSG are the only club as of today – Saturday – in direct negotiations with Napoli for Kvaratskhelia.
“So the negotiation is ongoing, it’s advanced between Napoli and PSG. Early next week, Napoli and PSG will talk and try to close the deal – Napoli want €80million (£67million).”
Liverpool’s firepower
TBR Football sources have confirmed that, while Liverpool like Kvaratskhelia, they’ve cooled their interest in wake of PSG’s efforts to try and sign him – although it’s said things may yet change.
And while the Reds have made a name for themselves when it comes to making the most of transfer opportunities that arise, it looks as though PSG simply want him more.
In fairness, if there’s one area in Liverpool’s squad that they don’t currently need to strengthen, it’s their front line, which boasts a number of superb players.

Indeed, Federico Chiesa is now off the mark at Liverpool too, having scored against Accrington Stanley in the FA Cup, so it’ll be interesting to see how he kicks on from his debut Reds goal.
