Napoli winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is nearing a move to Paris Saint-Germain, a source has told ESPN, with the two clubs set to meet on Monday to finalise the deal.
A source told ESPN the deal is likely to be worth between €60 million ($61m) and €65m for the Georgia international who was the best player in Serie A when Napoli ended their 33-year wait for the Scudetto in May 2023.
At this stage, no PSG player is expected to be part of the deal with both Milan Skriniar and Randal Kolo Muani are looking at options other than Napoli.
Kvaratskhelia had been linked with Liverpool this month, and manger Arne Slot refused to be drawn on any potential move. However, a full agreement with PSG is expected on Monday with the player set to travel to Paris later this week to sign a contract.
Kvaratskhelia has already agreed personal terms with the Ligue 1 leaders over a five-year contract. His deal at Napoli expires in June 2027 -- the club had wished extend his contract but he refused.
He told Antonio Conte that he wanted to leave this month. He had already wanted to go to Paris on the summer but Napoli closed the door on a potential move.
