Liverpool’s dull transfer window could change as the club reportedly prepare a ‘sensational late window move’.
Fans of the club are unhappy with their activity during the summer transfer window. Despite all their competitors investing heavily to bolster their squads, the club has not made any significant signings. With new manager Arne Slot expected to receive support in the transfer market to acquire players suited to his style and philosophy, the lack of activity has been disappointing. However, this could change soon, as Football Insider reports that Liverpool is considering a dramatic last-minute move for Napoli winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. The Georgian international has been a long-term target for Liverpool, and they may soon make an approach to sign him from the Italian club.
Liverpool’s interest in signing a wide forward is evident from their pursuit of Newcastle United’s Anthony Gordon. With Gordon remaining at St James’ Park, their focus has shifted to Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. The Georgian winger has been highly sought after in Europe, thanks to his impressive performances at Napoli. In his debut season in Italy, Kvaratskhelia scored 14 goals and made 17 assists, and he followed that with 11 goals and 9 assists last season.
Liverpool would need to meet Napoli’s £70 million asking price, a sum that shouldn’t be a major obstacle given their lack of spending this summer. Securing Kvaratskhelia could provide the boost Liverpool needs and significantly uplift the fans’ spirits, despite the challenge of negotiating a deal late in the transfer window.
