Kvaratskhelia Set to Join PSG: A New Chapter for the Georgian Star
After weeks of speculation, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia’s transfer to Paris Saint-Germain is nearing completion. The Georgian winger, who dazzled Serie A fans with his performances for Napoli last season, is undergoing a medical examination this Friday, marking the final hurdle before his official unveiling as a PSG player.
The deal, reportedly worth €70 million paid in installments, represents a significant investment by PSG and a testament to Kvaratskhelia’s burgeoning talent.The 24-year-old, who was crowned Serie A’s best player in 2023 after leading Napoli to their first league title in over three decades, will see his salary skyrocket from €1.8 million to a staggering €9 million per year.
Kvaratskhelia’s arrival in Paris has been met with excitement from fans eager to witness his electrifying dribbling skills and clinical finishing. The left-footed attacker, capable of playing both on the wing and as a central striker, will add another dimension to Luis Enrique’s attacking arsenal.
while Kvaratskhelia won’t be available for PSG’s upcoming Ligue 1 clash against Lens, he could make his debut against Reims on January 25th at the Parc des Princes. However, he will miss PSG’s crucial Champions League group stage matches, as he is ineligible to play until the knockout phase begins in February.
Adding to the anticipation surrounding his arrival, Kvaratskhelia has chosen to wear the iconic number 7 jersey at PSG, previously worn by Kylian Mbappé. This symbolic choice further emphasizes the high expectations placed upon the Georgian star, who, like Mbappé, idolizes Cristiano Ronaldo and his legendary CR7 brand.
Kvaratskhelia’s move to PSG marks a new chapter in his career, offering him the possibility to compete at the highest level and further cement his status as one of the world’s most exciting young talents.

Exactly! Now, €70 million is a hefty fee. Do you think PSG are getting good value for money?
RG: That’s a lot of Euros for sure, but look at the kid’s talent. He lit up Serie A last season, leading Napoli to the title. He’s got pace, dribbling skills that can make defenders look silly, and a knack for scoring goals. If he can adapt to Ligue 1, PSG might have just snagged themselves a real bargain.

RG: It’s a bold statement, that’s without a doubt. Not every player can carry that kind of weight. But Kvara seems to have the confidence and the drive. He idolizes Cristiano Ronaldo, so he’s clearly not afraid of a challenge.
he’ll miss the Champions League group stage matches due to eligibility rules. Do you see that as a setback or an possibility for him to focus on settling into the team?
RG: It’s a bit of both. Missing out on those big European nights is never ideal, but give him time to предаsete to the PSG system, build chemistry with his teammates,
and sharpen his understanding of Enrique’s tactics.

Kvara can play on either wing or even through the center, so he offers versatility. I think Enrique will love having such a versatile weapon at his disposal.
Do you think this transfer puts PSG in pole position to win the Champions League this year?
RG: They were already among the favorites, but Kvara definitely strengthens their chances.
Adding a player with his potential to an already star-studded squad makes them even more formidable. But remember, the Champions League is a tough competition. You need more than just individual talent; you need teamwork, luck, and a bit of magic.
Absolutely! Kvara is a real wildcard. we’ll wait and see what kind of impact he has.
