Napoli star Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has attracted interest from almost every top European club following his performances since he joined the Serie A giants last year.
During his debut year at the club, Kvaratskhelia played a pivotal role as they won the Italian top flight for the first time since 1990 and Napoli fought tooth-and-nail to retain his services this summer.
Several elite clubs began circling during the most recent summer window, but Napoli did not sanction an exit having already lost key defender Kim Min-jae to Bayern Munich for €50 million.
However, interest in Kvaratskhelia has not disappeared and it remains as threatening as ever, in fact.
90min have reported that Chelsea, Manchester City, Manchester United and Newcastle United all sent scouts to watch the winger in action during Georgia’s 3-1 loss to Spain on Sunday.
They will not have been left disappointed either as the Napoli man scored a 10th minute equaliser for Georgia, before Ferran Torres regained the lead for Spain in the second-half and a Luka Lochoshvili own goal sealed the points for Luis de la Fuente’s side.
For his goal, Kvaratskhelia latched onto a through-ball in behind and rolled the ball past Unai Simon with a left-footed finish to bag his 15th international goal in just 28 caps.
Who else is interested in Kvaratskhelia?
In addition to Premier League interest, Barcelona, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich also want to sign Kvaratskhelia, as per Calciomercato.
The Italian outlet have reported that all three clubs are extremely keen on the Georgian sensation, but Napoli are desperate to keep hold of him for at least a little while longer, especially as Victor Osimhen has been heavily linked with a move away in 2024.
Chelsea are seemingly leading the race for the Nigerian as they look to sign a proven goal-scorer at the top level.
