Crystal Palace have been in the hunt for Frosinone star Giorgio Kvernadze and can have the chance to sign him for a cut-price figure.
The winger is playing his first season in Serie A and is into his third campaign in Italy. Despite that, he has taken to the top-flight like duck to water, contributing five assists and three goals in 11 games.
In Serie B last season, the Georgia international was key to Frosinone’s promotion. He contributed to ten goals in the league and could be about to eclipse that soon enough.
Sport Witness have tracked interest from Crystal Palace, amidst suggestions that the player is expected to leave at some point soon. More details about the attacker’s situation are emerging.
Player has favourable clause
Tuttomercatoweb note that Kvernadze can depart Frosinone in the next few months. As well as the Eagles, Napoli and AS Roma are interested, with the player’s current market value at around €25m.
The 23-year-old’s current contract at the Ciociari has a release clause worth €4m and this will be applicable in June.
This comes as a real threat to Frosinone, who will ideally want to sell him only after tying him down to a renewal. They have made an approach regarding a new deal but things haven’t moved in the right direction yet.
The player has been offered a wage worth €1m per season, which is a big upgrade on his current €400k per season. Frosinone also recognise that they’re yet to finalise the deal and this can hand a chance to several suitors – including Crystal Palace.
Even if he does sign a new deal, his value is unlikely to go over €25m.
Big move on the horizon
Kverndaze is one of multiple Frosinone players who have starred this season. This has helped them emerge as a surprise package in Serie A. Considering his consistency across divisions, he will get a big move soon.
Besides, he is represented by the same agents as Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, which is another good sign.
If his development goes well, even a €25m figure could be good deal for Crystal Palace. The player is fast approaching his prime and his numbers show that. There is every chance his valuation will go up, once he joins another club next year.
However, Palace should be working with the player’s agents on a basis on that €4m clause.
