Napoli fire back after Khvicha Kvaratskhelia's agent reveals star wants to leave amid PSG & Barcelona transfer interest

Napoli has made it clear in an official statement that the Georgia international will not be sold in the ongoing summer transfer window while reminding his agent that the player still has three years left in his existing contract. Kvaratskhelia has been linked with a move away from the club with European giants like Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona keen on signing him.

On Sunday, the player's agent Mamuka Jugeli told Sport Imedi that his client is ready to move out of the Italian side as he said, "We want to leave Napoli, but now we're all waiting for the Euro 2024. With Conte, Napoli have big plans. I'm sure they will qualify for the Champions League again next season and fight for the Scudetto. But that doesn't mean that Kvaratskhelia wants to stay there, I don't mean it.

"I didn't talk with Khvicha about this issue, the most important thing for him is the National team. Our goal is the team that plays in the Champions League. The worst thing is that if he stays here, Khvicha will lose 1 year because of that… we are worried."

The statement from the 2022/23 Serie A champions on X read, "In reference to the statements of Kvaratskhelia's agent, Mamuka Jugeli, and his father Badri, Calcio Napoli reiterates that the player has a contract for another three years with the club. Kvaratskhelia is not on the market. It is not the agents or fathers who decide the future of a player under contract with Napoli but the Calcio Napoli club!!! End of the story."

For now, the 23-year-old remains focused on his national team's maiden campaign at Euro 2024. Georgia will play their first-ever European Championship game against Turkey on Tuesday.
