now, Claims to thrill The Kop Liverpool are planning an exciting deal to bring the 23-year-old to Anfield.
The report highlights that Liverpool have been closely monitoring Kvaratskhelia, and consider him a potential long-term replacement for Mohamed Salah.
With Salah's future at Anfield uncertain – his contract expires at the end of the season, and no agreement has been reached on an extension – the Reds appear to be preparing for a contingency in the event of their iconic winger's departure.
Kvaratskhelia's versatility, creativity and goal-scoring ability make him an ideal candidate for Salah's position.
The report claims that Liverpool are considering offering Napoli a swap deal that includes one of their players with the likes of Darwin Nunez and Federico Chiesa as options, both of which could dampen the Italian champions' fortunes. Chiesa is already linked with a move to Napoli, and given the Italian giants' current interest in him, a deal could be more likely.
The inclusion of these high-profile players signals Liverpool's determination to overcome rivals such as Paris Saint-Germain, who are believed to be leading the race for Kvaratskhelia.
Such a deal would provide Napoli with ready-made attacking reinforcements while allowing Liverpool to secure one of Europe's most sought-after talents.
Since joining Napoli from Rubin Kazan, Kvaratskhelia has cemented his reputation as one of the best strikers in Europe. In 107 appearances for Napoli, he scored 30 goals and provided 29 assists in all competitions.
This season, the Georgia international has continued to deliver, scoring five goals and providing three assists in 19 appearances. His career tally now stands at 52 goals and 53 assists, reflecting his continuing influence at club and international level.
Kvaratskhelia's contract with Napoli runs until 2027, but with two years remaining on his contract and no signs of renewal, clubs are turning around. Paris Saint-Germain's interest in the winger is said to have put them ahead in the race, but Liverpool's swap deal approach may give them an advantage in the transfer saga.
