Napoli sending ace to PSG, replacement Tottenham's goal-scoring striker?
As expected, he seems to be getting closer to Paris Saint-Germain.

On the 14th (Korea time), L'Equipe said 'Paris Saint-Germain and Napoli reached a consensus in principle on the transfer of Khvitsa Kvaratshelia. It is worth €70 million, excluding bonuses, 'Legal details still remain. If this is resolved, we will soon move to France and conduct medical tests.'"

Kvaratshelia is called the Second Coming of Maradona in Naples. He moved to Napoli and has 30 goals and 29 assists in 107 games. In the 2022-2023 season, Kim Min-jae led Napoli to a miraculous victory that no one expected. Kvaratshelia is still competitive, not as much as it was then.




Paris Saint-Germain, who is disappointed in the offense after Kylian Mbappe's departure, has jumped into the previously wanted recruitment of Kvaratshelia. Paris Saint-Germain shook Napoli and Kvaratshelia with a large offer. Kvaratshelia's agent Mamuka Jugeli and Paris Saint-Germain's general manager Luis Campos are meeting to finalize the negotiations.

With the departure of the ace, Napoli immediately started looking for a replacement. According to Italy's DiMargio, a surprising candidate was included. Timo Werner is sharing a meal with Son Heung-min. DiMarzio said 'Alejandro Garnacho is the number one, but Werner's name has been frequently mentioned recently. He also added that discussions have already taken place.

Werner is currently on loan from Leipzig and plays for Tottenham. He was once called Germany's best striker and even joined the national team, but he went downhill after moving to Chelsea. Even after returning to Leipzig, he failed to meet expectations and continues his reputation as a striker who cannot score a goal even after his loan at Tottenham. Therefore, Napoli's interest seems surprising.




DiMarzio added: "'Napoli's Sporting Director met Garnacho's agent in Barcelona to discuss a number of things'Manchester United currently want £70m for Garnacho's transfer, but it is considered too high a price for Napoli. It is likely that Naples will abandon the negotiations. This is why Werner has emerged as an alternative.
