Napoli’s president, Aurelio De Laurentiis, has made it clear that he is keen on extending the contract of the club’s Georgian winger, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. Amidst growing speculation regarding the player’s future, De Laurentiis addressed the situation by stating that any offer for Kvaratskhelia should be directed towards him and not the player’s agent.
De Laurentiis’ Stance on Kvaratskhelia’s Future
De Laurentiis expressed his desire to keep Kvaratskhelia at Napoli, highlighting the player’s professionalism and contribution to the team. “Kvaratskhelia’s agent said he would only leave if he received an offer that could not be refused? The offer that cannot be refused must come to me and not to him,” De Laurentiis remarked, emphasizing the need for any potential transfer discussions to go through the proper channels.
The Napoli president also praised Kvaratskhelia’s conduct during his tenure at the club, describing him as a “gentleman.” This acknowledgment not only reflects the player’s impact on the pitch but also his attitude off it, which has evidently impressed the Napoli hierarchy.
Contract Extension Talks Imminent
De Laurentiis confirmed that discussions regarding a contract extension for Kvaratskhelia are on the horizon. “I want to extend his contract. He has been a gentleman, we will talk soon,” he stated, indicating that negotiations between the player and the club are expected to commence shortly.
Kvaratskhelia, who has been a key figure for Napoli since his arrival, has attracted attention from several top European clubs due to his performances in Serie A and the UEFA Champions League. His ability to influence games with his dribbling, pace, and creativity has made him one of the most sought-after talents in European football.
As Napoli aims to secure Kvaratskhelia’s long-term future at the club, fans will be hopeful that an agreement can be reached to fend off interest from potential suitors. The Georgian international’s continued presence at Napoli would be a significant boost for the team as they look to compete at the highest level domestically and in Europe.
