This was one of the conditions imposed by Antonio Conte to sign for Naples. As much as the Italian coach was ready to let Victor Osimhen go, since he knew he could attract Romelu Lukaku, it was forbidden to sell Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. And this despite the incredible offers from PSG. As recalled Il MattinoNaples even refused an offer of €220 million last summer for the famous duo who had been at the origin of the championship title 1 year earlier.
Naples held on, but the Georgian had difficulty digesting. As evidenced by an honorable first part of the season but still below expectations. Failing to extend an established contract until 2027, the attacking midfielder finally announced to his coach that he wanted to leave Napoli this winter. And after a first notable media outing two days ago, Antonio Conte did it again after his team’s victory against Hellas Verona (2-0).
“Nothing is certain”
He went back on his first statements to detail his disappointment with the Kvaratskhelia subject. “I spoke of personal disappointment because in six months I was unable to impact the situation to change. I thought I could make an impact in a different way. (…) Maybe I was presumptuous in thinking I would have an impact in a different way, I was not able to do so. I think it’s a shame because he’s an important and strong player.”he declared on the microphone of DAZN.
Casually, and despite his obvious annoyance, Conte suggests that nothing will be made easier either. “Today, he’s a Naples player and let’s not forget, there are steps to take if someone wants to buy him: nothing is certain. But I like to emphasize the maturity of this group: the market is going crazy, two players have left and there are rumors about others, but my players have kept their focus and their desire to win and continue on this path.he added, satisfied with the victory, without Kvara but with a once again astonishing David Neres. According to our information, an agreement is very well underway between the two clubs.
