According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Napoli are ready to sell Barcelona target Khvicha Kvaratskhelia if the Georgia international doesn’t sign a contract extension in the coming months.
Napoli are ready to sell their star winger Kvaratskhelia if he fails to commit his future to the club.
According to Gazzetta’s latest report, the Partenopei won’t improve their contract offer of €6m, including add-ons, and if Kvara rejects it, he’ll be put on the market next summer.
The 23-year-old still has a long-term deal at the club, given that his contract runs out in June 2027.

Kvara still earns €1.5m per season, a fee he accepted in 2022 when he moved to the Stadio Maradona for just €13m.
“We want to reward his journey at Napoli because he deserves it,” Napoli director Giovanni Manna said Tuesday during the Social Football Summit 2024.
“However, there are extra dynamics. We have no pressure, there isn’t a deadline and we are in talks. If they agree, we can sign. Otherwise, we’ll talk again in June.”
Gazzetta already reported that the main issue in negotiations between the two parties is a release clause that Napoli want to set above €100m while the player’s agent wants to keep in the region of €80m.
Barcelona and PSG are among the clubs interested in Kvara, and reports in Spain claim that the Catalans’ president, Joan Laporta, already met the player’s entourage this month.
