Report: Spurs and Liverpool both still ‘like’ winger – Club trying to tie him down
CalcioMercato have now revealed that Napoli are set to offer an improved contract to Khvicha Kvaratskhelia to ward off interest from the likes of Tottenham Hotspur.
Spurs were backed to make a push for Kvaratskhelia old during this summer’s transfer window (Gazzetta dello Sport) but it was Napoli who moved swiftly to snap the winger for €10m (£8.7m).
Just six months on, that fee looks like an unbelievable bargain, with the 21-year-old managing 13 goal contributions in 12 Serie A games and another five in five Champions League matches so far this season (Transfermarkt).
CalcioMercato now suggests that Tottenham’s interest in Kvaratskhelia has not gone away, with the report stating that the North London club and Liverpool ‘like’ the Georgian ‘a lot’.
Napoli are thus said to be ready to move quickly to tie the former Rubin Kazan man down to a new deal as they are on good terms with the player’s agent, Mamuka Jugheli.
The publication asserts that the Serie A club are ready to double Kvaratskhelia’s salary from €1.2m (£1m) to €2.4m (£2m) and offer him a deal that runs until 2028.
Spurs Web Opinion
Napoli are certainly going to fight tooth and nail to keep both Kvaratskhelia and Kim Min-Jae, and neither player is likely to push for a move, given that they just joined in the summer. In addition, the Serie A club look capable of doing something special both in Serie A and in Europe this season.
