Napoli winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has been linked with a move away from the club in recent weeks.
The 23-year-old Georgia international has been heavily linked with a move to Liverpool and the Reds are plans to submit a club record offer to sign him this month
Now they have given themselves a big boost in their search for the player. Napoli manager Antonio Conte has now confirmed that the player has asked to leave the club immediately. It will be interesting to see if Liverpool can get a deal done with the Italian club in the coming weeks.
Conte said (h/t Fabrizio Romano): “Kvaratskhelia has asked to leave the club. I spoke to Khvicha and he confirmed his plan to leave the club immediately.”
The 23-year-old has been a standout for Napoli since joining the club and there is no doubt that he would be an outstanding signing for Liverpool. He has all the attributes to become a world-class player and a move to the Premier League could accelerate his development.
Liverpool’s move could be ideal for Khvicha Kvaratskhelia
Liverpool have done well to nurture talented young players over the years and they could help him reach his world-class potential.
The player has the attributes to succeed in England and will look to hit the ground running at Liverpool if the move goes through. He has shown his quality against English opposition in the UEFA Champions League and will be determined to make his mark on English football if he ends up at Liverpool.
Liverpool are hoping to win major trophies next season and need top quality talent at their disposal. The 23-year-old might cost a premium right now, but he would be a long-term investment and could justify the outlay in the coming seasons.
The chance to join an ambitious club like Liverpool will be quite attractive for the player. has been linked with Manchester United and PSG too
