Liverpool manager Arne Slot has declined to comment on rumors linking Napoli winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia with a potential move to Anfield.
The 22-year-old Georgian international has been speculated as a target for the Premier League leaders, alongside other top European clubs like Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea, all reportedly interested in securing his signature.
Liverpool has been monitoring Kvaratskhelia as a possible long-term successor to Mohamed Salah.
Kvaratskhelia has made 17 Serie A appearances this season, scoring five goals, continuing the form he showed over the previous two seasons at Napoli, where he consistently reached double-digit goals.
When asked about the transfer rumors, Slot responded during a press conference, as reported by transfer expert Fabrizio Romano. He stated:
“What I make of that is that it’s January… 99 times out of 100, it becomes clear almost all these stories are not true.”
Should Liverpool Pursue Khvicha Kvaratskhelia?
Kvaratskhelia is known for his creativity, goal-scoring prowess, and exceptional dribbling ability. His versatility, able to play on either wing or as an attacking midfielder, makes him a valuable addition to any team.
With Mohamed Salah’s future at Liverpool uncertain, targeting Kvaratskhelia could be a strategic move for the club.
Liverpool also has the financial resources to complete such a deal following a relatively quiet summer transfer window.
Signing Kvaratskhelia could add a new dynamic to Liverpool’s attacking lineup, reinforcing their position among Europe’s elite clubs.
