Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has reportedly set his sights on a move away from Napoli next year and Premier League duo Arsenal and Liverpool are vying for his signatures, per TBR.
The Georgian winger will look to explore a new challenge in England, with the two clubs standing out as his top choices.
Too expensive or worth it?
Napoli, meanwhile, are working to secure Kvaratskhelia on a new contract, one that could feature a massive release clause of around €100 million. This would allow them to cash in on one of their brightest stars should a transfer materialize.
Napoli are understandably cautious after the situation with Victor Osimhen, who recently departed without the club receiving the significant fee they had anticipated, despite his immense talent and contributions.
While rumors of a new deal for Kvaratskhelia have been circulating since the summer, nothing has been finalized yet. Napoli may have hoped for a lucrative offer to come through for him earlier, but that didn’t happen, and now they’re keen to secure a long-term commitment before the transfer window drama picks up again.
Dream signing for Arsenal
For Arsenal, this could be a golden opportunity. Strengthening their attack with a player of Kvaratskhelia’s explosive quality would be a dream for Gunners fans, adding another level of creativity and dynamism to an already impressive squad.
The Georgian winger, known for his dazzling footwork and direct style of play, could thrive under Mikel Arteta’s system. Paired with the likes of Bukayo Saka, Kai Havertz, and Martin Ødegaard, he could form a truly frightening front line, pushing Arsenal that much closer to competing for major honors once again.
Competition from rival clubs heats up
Liverpool, too, could see him as a great fit, potentially injecting more flair and dynamism into their forward line. However, they would need to act quickly, as the interest in Kvaratskhelia is growing. Chelsea and Manchester United are also reportedly monitoring his situation, but it seems that Arsenal and Liverpool hold the advantage in terms of the player’s personal preferences.

For Arsenal fans, the idea of Kvaratskhelia pulling on the famous red and white shirt is tantalizing. A player with his natural ability and potential could be the missing piece in Arteta’s attacking puzzle. Whether one of these clubs is willing to meet Napoli’s €100 million price tag could determine where he ends up, but for now, Gunners fans can dare to dream.
