Should Barça worry? The new 'top' guest in the 'race' for the signing of Kvaratskhelia

The FC Barcelona remains attentive to the situation of the left winger from Napoli, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, an extremely attractive option for the club in sporting terms, with the Georgian being one of the best in the world in that position. However, it seems to be a somewhat challenging alternative to approach in economic terms, as his release clause from Napoli, at the very least, could be around €80 million, requiring negotiations with a strong negotiator like Aurelio De Laurentiis, the president of Napoli.

Not only that, beyond the complexity of negotiating with Napoli, Barcelona must face another crucial factor: the interest of other teams in acquiring the services of Kvaratskhelia. It has even been mentioned that several 'top' clubs, such as Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester United, would be interested in securing the services of the talented left winger, being clubs with enough economic 'muscle' to handle a transfer of this magnitude.

Manchester City Joins the 'Race' for Kvaratskhelia's Signing

Recently, it has been revealed that a struggling European 'giant' would also be interested in understanding the situation of Kvaratskhelia. As reported by 'Fichajes.net', Manchester City is reportedly keen on launching a bid for the Tbilisi native in the upcoming summer transfer market, having even established contacts with his entourage.

The 'Citizens', who already boast stellar alternatives in that position such as the 'electric' 22-year-old Belgian left winger, Jérémy Doku, or the 'spicy' Jack Grealish, seek to strengthen the position with a player who already possesses outstanding characteristics in European football.

In the 2024-25 season, Kvaratskhelia has showcased his value with five goals and three assists in 16 matches, surpassing the statistics of the aforementioned players. In addition to his flair and creativity, he brings association and goal-scoring abilities, qualities that can add depth to an area that clearly needs rejuvenation in the offensive front for the 'sky blues'.

Will Barcelona Venture to Try and Sign Kvaratskhelia?

It remains to be seen how the interest of Manchester City in Kvaratskhelia evolves and how Barcelona positions itself in this scenario. Although it appears that the Catalan team is interested in the player, it is evident that two conditions must be met to seriously consider his incorporation.

One of them is that 'Kvaradona' openly expresses his desire to join the Barcelona squad, and the other is that his transfer can be addressed at a reasonable price. Barcelona does not intend to make extravagant payments for a player in a position that does not seem to be a priority, although highly valued, also taking into consideration other names like Nico Williams from Athletic Club or Rafael Leão from AC Milan.
