Napoli Not Considering Man Utd Outcast as Replacement for €75M-Rated PSG Target | OneFootball

Napoli could be on the verge of losing Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who is on Paris Saint-Germain’s radar and reportedly has a verbal agreement with the Ligue 1 side. As a result, the Serie A side could be looking for a replacement for the winger.

PSG are closing in on securing Kvaratskhelia, with journalist Ben Jacobs reporting on Saturday that the player has agreed to personal terms on a contract lasting until the summer of 2029. The Georgian winger is said to have expressed his desire to join PSG last summer and reiterated his intentions earlier this month.

Discussions between PSG and Napoli are ongoing, with a sense of optimism that a deal could be finalized soon. Napoli are reportedly keen on a January departure, which could help expedite the process.

While Napoli are open to interest from other clubs, no formal offers from Premier League teams had been made by Saturday morning. Kvaratskhelia’s move to PSG now seems increasingly likely to happen next week.

With rumors swirling about Napoli potentially losing Kvaratskhelia, the club could look to Marcus Rashford as a possible replacement.

French outlet L’Équipe reports (h/t The Mirror) that Manchester United have made contact to sign Kvaratskhelia this month, offering Rashford in exchange for bringing the winger to Old Trafford. However, this proposed deal is unlikely to be accepted by the Italian club.

Meanwhile, Journalist Gianluca Di Marzio recently reported that PSG and Napoli plan to meet next week to finalize Kvaratskhelia’s transfer. Reports suggest a verbal agreement is already in place.

PSG are reportedly ready to offer €70 million to €75 million or propose a deal that includes Milan Škriniar on loan, with Napoli covering his full wages.
