Since the start of the season, it’s been really hard to ignore how well Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has been playing for Napoli.
The Georgia international has been one of the revelations of the current campaign, which didn’t go unnoticed around the world, with Tottenham reportedly taking an interest.
This has been mentioned a few times, but it’s clear that Napoli don’t want to sell, as has been made clear by their director of football recently.
That was alluding to the recent rumours of Newcastle being interested, but it will also apply to Tottenham, whom Calciomercato name as an interested party on Thursday.
They look at what Napoli will do to get rid of interest from around Europe, recalling that Napoli’s director of football, Cristiano Giuntoli, ‘is on excellent terms’ with Kvaratskhelia’s agent.
The idea is to ‘put pen to paper to an extension until 2028, with a double salary from €1.2m/year to €2.4m’.
This is seen as a ‘move to ward off the Premier League threat’, where both Liverpool and Tottenham like the forward ‘a lot’.
However, for Napoli, he is ‘not to be touched’, such is his importance to their plans going forward under Luciano Spalletti.
