La Liga champions Barcelona have reportedly contacted Serie A champions Napoli to discuss the possibility of bringing in Georgian star Kvaratskhelia, nicknamed K77. According to the Spanish media newspaper As, Kvaratskhelia is a big target for Barcelona to strengthen their offensive firepower. The 23-year-old striker, who was one of Barca's transfer targets in the summer transfer window, has already approached Napoli at the age of eight to discuss the possibility of bringing in the attacker.
The rise of Kvaratskhelia Since July 2022 Since Dynamo Batumi joined Napoli, Kvaratskhelia has been one of the best performers in Serie A. The Georgian international quickly established himself at the Maradona Stadium and played a key role in helping Napoli win the Serie A trophy again after more than 30 years. He also led the Georgian national team to Euro 2024 finals, Georgia's first continental tournament finals since independence from the Soviet Union in 1991. However, he has been mediocre at club level this season, with Napoli underperforming on their way to defending the Serie A title.
Kvaratskhelia has scored 10 goals and provided six assists in 38 games so far this season, engaging in a total of 16 goals. However, this is far below his stats from last season. Despite this, the player's value is still very high, and many big clubs, including Barcelona, are eyeing him. Barca's desire to bring in Kvaratskhelia has been put on the agenda, but Barca's interest in K77 is understandable. Barcelona will be making some major changes to their first-team squad this summer, with Raphinha and Ferran Torres both uncertain about their future at the club, with both of them likely to leave. As a result, Barcelona may be looking to the transfer market for attacking reinforcements.
Kvaratskhelia has therefore become a viable target, with Barcelona already approaching Napoli to discuss his future. However, Fabrizio Romano revealed: Napoli do not want the 23-year-old to leave, they want to build the future of the team around him. So, while Napoli are likely to let Osimhen go this summer, Kvaratskhelia is likely to remain in the Napoli squad. There are also reports that the Georgian international is in talks with Napoli for a new contract extension. As a result, Barcelona may need to look elsewhere, with the Napoli striker looking unlikely to leave the Serie A side anytime soon.
