Chelsea want Kvaradona! Blues join queue of clubs chasing €100m-rated Napoli Scudetto hero Khvicha Kvaratskhelia

The Georgia international forward has attracted interest from leading sides across Europe, with the likes of Manchester City, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Newcastle said to sit on his ever-growing list of admirers. It is easy to see why so many sides are willing to invest heavily in the talented 22-year-old.

Kvaratskhelia saw his stock soar during Napoli’s Serie A title-winning campaign in 2022-23, with 14 goals and 17 assists recorded across 43 games in all competitions. He has seen others leave Naples in big-money deals – with the likes of Kim Min-jae, who signed for Bayern Munich in the summer, and Kalidou Koulibaly, who joined Chelsea in 2022, moving on.

According to ESPN, Premier League heavyweights from Stamford Bridge now have Kvaratskhelia in their sights. He certainly fits the mould for Chelsea, who have been splashing the cash on players with considerable potential for some time.

It is claimed that Kvaratskhelia will come with a nine-figure asking price. That will not put Chelsea off, if they can find a way to make a deal happen inside Financial Fair Play regulations. The Blues are also said to be keeping an eye on Napoli striker Victor Osimhen and Brentford star Ivan Toney as they look to land another proven No.9.
