Paris Saint-Germain have officially announced the signing of Napoli winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia on Friday, marking a significant move in the current transfer window. The acquisition of the highly regarded Georgian international is seen as a strategic enhancement to PSG’s attacking lineup.
The former Serie A MVP made headlines when he decided to reject several lucrative offers that would have extended his contract at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona. This bold choice ultimately led Napoli to make the decision to cash in on their star player rather than risk losing him for free in the near future. Reports circulating in both Italy and France indicate that the transfer fee for Kvaratskhelia, who still had a contract with Napoli for another two-and-a-half years, is in the region of β¬70 million.
Upon joining the French champions, Kvaratskhelia has signed a long-term contract that will keep him at the club until 2029, reflecting PSG’s commitment to integrating him into their plans for the future. The player, who expressed excitement over the move, will don the iconic No. 7 jersey, a number that has historical significance at the club and carries the weight of lofty expectations.
In his own words, Kvaratskhelia shared, βIt’s a dream to be here. I’ve heard a lot of very positive things about Paris Saint-Germain. I feel immense pride in joining this great club and I’m really looking forward to wearing my new colours.β His enthusiasm underscores the ambition of both the player and the club to chase success on both domestic and international fronts.
Nasser Al-KhelaΓ―fi, President of Paris Saint-Germain, mirrored these sentiments in his statement: “We are delighted to welcome Khvicha Kvaratskhelia to the Paris Saint-Germain family. Khvicha is one of the most exciting players in world football – a fantastic talent, but also a player who has courage and fights for the team above all else.” Al-KhelaΓ―fi’s words reflect the high expectations placed on Kvaratskhelia, who is recognized not only for his skill but also for his work ethic and determination on the pitch.
“Khvicha was so determined to be part of our great club. I know he will achieve all his goals with us. We are delighted to be strengthening our squad and continuing to make the team the star of Paris Saint-Germain,” he added, highlighting the strategic aim behind this signing.
Kvaratskheliaβs journey in football began at Napoli, where he initially joined the club for β¬10 million in July 2022. During his tenure with the Partenopei, he played a pivotal role in helping the team claim a rare Serie A title, making history in the process. His outstanding performances earned him the accolade of the league’s Player of the Season, and he also set a remarkable record for the most Serie A Player of the Month award wins, tallying an impressive four times.
As Kvaratskhelia embarks on this new chapter with Paris Saint-Germain, fans and analysts alike will be keenly watching how he adapts to the rigors of top-flight French football and how he impacts the teamβs aspirations for glory in both domestic and European competitions.
