The Georgia international forward has attracted interest from leading sides across Europe, with the likes of <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/Kvaratskhelia-Napoli-Real-Madrid-transfer/blt02889574eaea0b56" target="_blank">Manchester City, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Newcastle said to sit on his ever-growing list of admirers</a>. It is easy to see why so many sides are willing to invest heavily in the talented 22-year-old.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Kvaratskhelia saw his stock soar during <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/napoli-serie-a-champions-also-rans-five-months-rudi-garcia/blteb50986847b33214" target="_blank">Napoli’s Serie A title-winning campaign in 2022-23</a>, 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.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

According to <a href="https://www.espn.in/football/story/_/id/38958132/chelsea-eyeing-napoli-winger-kvaratskhelia-sources " target="_blank">ESPN</a>, Premier League heavyweights from Stamford Bridge now have Kvaratskhelia in their sights. He certainly fits the mould for Chelsea, who have been <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/chelsea-easier-transfer-advice-1-billion-spend-gary-cahill-big-business-todd-boehly/blteefe99b3dc97f67c" target="_blank">splashing the cash on players with considerable potential</a> for some time.

DID YOU KNOW?

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 <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/right-price-chelsea-ivan-toney-transfer-message-thomas-frank-brentford/bltb5327b196080002f" target="_blank">Brentford star Ivan Toney as they look to land another proven No.9</a>.
