In fact, the Georgian is expected to travel to Paris in the next few hours to undergo medical examinations and sign his new contract, thus closing his cycle in Napoli after two and a half years. Other teams had also expressed interest in including him in their roster, while one of them was Liverpool, but the immediate moves of the Parisians left no room for the English.

Georgian Khvicha Kvaratskhelia took off his career in Italy with Napoli, with whose jersey he won the Scudetto in the 2022-23 season, and now he is counting down to show his class in another top European championship.

This one from Ligue 1, with Paris shaking hands with Napoli after negotiations that lasted about two weeks and making him their own.

The whole matter was closed on Monday by Paris' sporting director, Luis Campos, who had gone to Napoli where he had negotiations with the owner and president of the Italian team, Aurelio De Laurentiis.

It is worth noting that the team from the South of Italy had acquired Kvaratskhelia in the summer of 2022 from Dinamo Batumi for the sum of 13,300,000 euros, with the 23-year-old Georgian winger scoring 30 goals in 107 appearances in all competitions in his 2.5 years of presence at "Diego Armando Maradona" with the Napoli jersey.

Hvitsa Kvaratskhelia is the son of former footballer Badri Kvaratskhelia. He has two brothers and his younger brother, Tornike (born 2010), also plays football.  Khvicha is nicknamed "Kvaratskhelia". In an interview with CNN World Sport in 2022, Kvaratskhelia expressed that he has been a Real Madrid fan since childhood and his biggest dream is "to win the UEFA Champions League with Real Madrid".
