Khvicha Kvaratskhelia’s agent, Makuma Jugeli, appears to have changed his stance, despite ongoing rumors linking the Napoli star with a move to Liverpool.
Kvaratskhelia shined at Euro 2024, pushing Georgia to the knockout rounds for their first ever big event.
His great performances has sparked talk about where he’ll go next.
HITC says that intermediaries have told Liverpool that the 23-year-old could be available this summer.
Arsenal and Manchester City have heard the same.
Earlier reports suggested that Kvaratskhelia’s agent and father wanted him to leave Napoli this summer.
In an interview with the Georgian outlet Imedi last month, Jugeli made it clear that Kvaratskhelia was looking to leave Napoli.
He expressed, “I don’t want people to get the impression that Kvara wishes to remain at Napoli.
Our goal is to leave, but we are waiting until the end of the Euros to avoid any disruptions for Khvicha.”
The priority is to join a team that plays in the Champions League.”

This statement underscored their intention to move on, with a preference for a club that competes in Europe’s elite competition.
However, Napoli responded firmly, stating that Kvaratskhelia would not be leaving.
This stance was supported by new Napoli boss Antonio Conte, who revealed he had vetoed a move for the Georgian star.
Now, Jugeli seems to have backtracked on his earlier comments, indicating that his client might sign a new contract at Napoli.
“Kvaratskhelia without the Champions League? However, Jugeli’s recent comments to Corriere dello Sport seem to convey a more nuanced position.
He clarified further, “After that, his aim is to win the Scudetto. Ultimately, Kvara’s future is in the hands of Napoli’s president.
If he decides to sell Kvara, he will; if he opts for a contract renewal, that will happen instead.
This suggests that Kvaratskhelia’s future at Napoli is still uncertain and hinges on the decisions of the club’s president, whether it be a transfer or a contract renewal.
This situation suggests that any potential move for Kvaratskhelia could become complicated, especially with Napoli involved.
While Kvaratskhelia is an attractive prospect, Liverpool might want to proceed cautiously.
It seems that Jugeli is sending Napoli an ultimatum.
If Kvaratskhelia is to stay, the club needs to win silverware next season.
Otherwise, his name might reappear in transfer speculations next summer.
