Khvicha Kvaratskhelia's agent confirms that many clubs are interested in the Georgian winger.

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia's agent, Mumuka Jugheli, has confirmed that many clubs are keeping tabs on the Georgian and are interested in pricing him away from Naples.

The 22-year-old winger is one of the revelations of the season, and his partnership with Nigeria's Victor Osimhen has helped Napoli create a 15-point gap at the top of Serie A.

Kvaratskhelia's agent on interests

Jugheli, speaking to CalcioNapoli24, revealed that Kvaratskhelia is indeed of interest to many clubs. However, he confirms that the winger only has Napoli on his mind, and prioritises winning the Champion's league and Scudetto with the Partonopei.

"Yes, there is a lot of interest from other clubs," Jugelli revealed.

“However, Kvara is only thinking about winning the Scudetto and Napoli’s matches in the Champions League.”

The player's agent further explained that young Kvaratskhelia has grown fond of Naples and has a lot of love for the fans of Napoli, confirming that the Georgian would not be entertaining interest from other Seria A clubs as he only sees himself at Napoli in the context of Italian football.

“He’ll take care of bringing happiness to the Neapolitans. Kvara loves Naples. He loves being there. He told me that in terms of football In Italy, he sees himself only in Napoli. He will never play in any other Italian club, apart from Napoli. He feels in Naples as at home.”

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has been unstoppable for Napoli this season

Kvaratskhelia only recently joined Napoli from Dinamo Batumi in the summer, and although he still has a contract until 2027, there have been reports suggesting Napoli are looking to reward his performances with a new contract. However, Jughali has denied talks of a new contract, saying no such talks are currently being had.

“As far as the renewal of the contract is concerned, at the moment we haven’t received any offers.”

Osimhen and Khivcha, the duo setting Europe alight

Napoli are currently the only team in Europe's top five leagues to have reached 59 points this season, and they have the duo of Osimhen and Kvaratskhelia to thank for that.

Osimhen is currently the top scorer in Seria A with 17 goals, while Kvaratskhelia leads the league in assists with nine. 

Their excellent showings have not been limited to only Serie A, with Napoli emerging as one of the favourites to lift the Champions League after an impressive group stage that saw them win a group that housed European powerhouses Liverpool and Ajax.

A transfer away for either one of the members of Napoli's dynamic duo could prove detrimental to the consolidation of whatever success they achieve this season.
