Napoli star Kvicha Kvaratskhelia has attracted transfer attention from four of Europe's biggest clubs following his mesmerising growth this season.

The Georgian international was signed as club legend Lorenzo Insigne's replacement in 2022 and has caught the eyes of scouts across Europe.

Kvaratskhelia has netted 11 times and grabbed 14 assists in 23 Serie A and Champions League appearances this term, and has played a key role in Napoli's dominance in Italy this season.

Luciano Spalletti's men are currently 15 points clear of Inter in second place and look set to finally end their Serie A title drought, which dates back to 1990.

However, they could be set to lose one of their key stars, with clubs beginning to take interest in signing Kvaratskhelia.

According to 90min, Newcastle United, Manchester City, Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain have all expressed an interest in signing the Napoli winger, who could cost up to €110 million.

Kvaratskhelia to leave Napoli?

The 21-year-old was a relative unknown when Napoli paid €10m to sign him from Dynamo Batumi last summer, but has quickly established himself as one of Europe's most exciting players after a lightning quick start to life at Napoli.

He has formed a devastating partnership with Victor Osimhen in the Napoli forward line, while his relationship with left-back Mario Rui is equally impressive.

The summer after losing the aforementioned Insigne, as well as Dries Mertens and Kalidou Koulibaly, would be a huge blow for Napoli. At current, they look like one of Europe's best teams, hence they would likely demand a huge fee in order to let Kvaratskhelia leave.

Those clubs pursuing to Georgian may find it even tougher due to the amount of interest in Osimhen. Napoli will not want to lose both players in the same summer, meaning clubs may be priced out of a move for Kvaratskhelia if Osimhen departs.

Manchester United are among the clubs interested in signing the Nigerian international this summer.
