The movement that could bring Kvaratskhelia closer to Barcelona

The FC Barcelona has not overlooked the situation of the left winger of Napoli, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who has become a stellar candidate to strengthen the left flank of the Catalan team. At 23 years old, the Georgian forward has quickly shown in elite football that he can be a valuable option to create danger on the left side.

Being proficient in both profiles (ambidextrous), possessing a lethal dribbling ability in one-on-one situations, and a prominent creative capacity to assist his teammates. Furthermore, Kvaratskhelia boasts a remarkable goal-scoring ability, which he has displayed on multiple occasions.

Now, why is FC Barcelona paying such close attention to the situation of 'Kvaradona' at Napoli? The answer is simple. The left winger could be contemplating leaving the Napoli squad in the next season in search of a new sporting challenge. However, the 'Partenopei' seem reluctant to accept his departure, as they would lose one of their best players and a key piece in Antonio Conte's sporting project.

Why does Kvaratskhelia's renewal with Napoli increase his chances of joining Barcelona?

At this juncture, a new scenario has emerged in Kvaratskhelia's future. While initially it may not seem favorable for Barcelona, in reality, it could represent a positive move in view of future negotiations for the forward. As reported by 'SPORT', the renewal option has gained strength, with the player showing willingness to extend his contract until 2029 with Napoli.

Why would this renewal be 'beneficial' for Barcelona? Apparently, the Georgian player would be willing to agree to a release clause not exceeding €80 million, a sum considered reasonable by his circle in the market, thus facilitating a potential transfer in the future. On the other hand, the Neapolitans may consider this proposal, avoiding the risk of complicating negotiations if the Tbilisi native reaches the summer of 2025 without resolving his contractual situation, which could give him the upper hand in discussions.

Will the Catalan team manage to steer a potential negotiation for the Georgian forward?

The outcome of this operation is yet to be seen. Although it may seem to be heading towards a positive outcome for Kvaratskhelia, it will be crucial to approach negotiations with Aurelio de Laurentiis, who has historically been a firm negotiator and does not easily give in to selling his star players.

Meanwhile, Barcelona sees Khvicha as one option among others, rather than the sole candidate, hence they have not taken action yet, awaiting further information to be prepared in case conditions are favorable for a transfer.
