uncertainty regarding the future of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia

From last couple of years, the Georgian has been in spotlight of the media about his transfer to a bigger club and there has been links to other clubs as well according to multiple media sources. His exceptional performance for Napoli’s 22/23 Serie A winning season has caught many club’s eyes, however he wasn’t able to repeat his last 23/24 season stats with same force with Napoli. Although it still keeps him in the spotlight in this transfer window as clubs like Chelsea and Liverpool have already shown interest in him.

This transfer situation is not going to be as simple as it seems as there has been the mixing of desires from both of the parties. Khvicha’s father and his agent have gone in public and said that they don’t want people to believe that he is going to stay at the club, nor he wishes to stay at the club, and they really are looking to join a different club.

Napoli standing firm to their ground?

Although, interestingly, his current club Napoli openly announced that they are not going to let Khvicha go and there are another 3 years remaining in his contract. This shows Napoli’s acknowledgement of the importance of 23 year’s old. They understand that they can get big amount of money in this deal if they let him go but they also do know their football has not been the same and they need to pull their socks to competing at the top.

To do so and compete at the top, they need Khvicha because it’s not easy to replace a player like him. Fans assume that change in managerial post and management system must have made difference in the situation. Furthermore, not to ignore his massive contribution in Georgia’s run to round of 16, clubs understand his ability to adapt.

Can Liverpool pull this deal?

Liverpool on the other hand have seen some ups and downs in last couple of years and there has been frustration among the fans. They are looking forward to seeing a change in the front line of Liverpool. Also, the appointment of Arne slot puts a huge impact in it even though there has not been any official hint about this transfer from Liverpool football club.

There have been mixed opinions on this particular transfer among the Liverpool and Napoli fanbases and fanbases are surely divided. A number of Napoli fans do believe it is good to keep him and utilize the player and help the club to do better. They believe in player’s potential and ability, and don’t want the 22/23 season to be a fluke but a proper run of good years from the club.

Fans want their club to rise, in order to do that they believe decisions like this should be done with thoughts. Although the other part of the fan base understands the big price tag of the Georgian. They believe it is good to cash the money and let Khvicha go as player himself wants to leave the club.

An exciting future for the reds

Liverpool fanbase is also divided as they have seen the downfall in quality of their attacking players since mane left Liverpool. There has been frustration among the player especially in the left side of the attack. Furthermore, they also understand the fluctuation of salah saga in last couple of years which is not that concrete as well.

Reds believe that they need new enforcements in the attack, but the inconsistency of the 23 years old is dividing the fanbase. Few believe in his potential, and few don’t. It will be interesting to see what decision the Liverpool regime will take.
