“Sport” newspaper reported that Barcelona’s management does not feel happy or satisfied with the press reports linking the Catalan club to contracting with Hvicha Kvaratskhelia, the Napoli star, in the upcoming summer transfer market.
As for Barcelona, there is undoubtedly admiration for the capabilities of the Georgian winger, but it is outside the circle of attention, contrary to what is being promoted, which Joan Laporta’s administration considers as “exploitation” of it.
The newspaper confirms in its report that the news circulating about Barcelona’s interest in Kvaratskhelia are nothing but attempts by his agent in order to exploit Barca’s name in the renewal negotiations with Napoli, which are scheduled to begin during the next short period.
The 23-year-old and his representatives want to prove to Napoli that he is wanted by the world’s top clubs, and thus can earn a bigger salary, while reports already indicate that the southern club is willing to double his salary from 1.5 million euros annually to 4 million euros.
As for Barcelona, there is no intention to contract with Kvara, and no front has been opened with him in light of the management’s belief that the deal is economically impossible on the one hand, and on the other hand that the player is not a fan of Barcelona, as he and his family have previously expressed more than once his desire to represent the club. His childhood team, Real Madrid.
It is noteworthy that it is expected that Kvaratskhelia will renew his contract with Napoli in the manner of Victor Osimhen, including a penalty clause worth up to 100 million euros that allows him to leave whenever he wants.
