Napoli have released a statement, insisting that Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is not for sale, despite the recent comments from his agent. Georgian news outlet Sport Imedi shared an interview with agent Mamuka Jugeli on Sunday, stating that the 23-year-old winger was ready to leave Naples this summer, saying:
“I don’t want people to think that Kvara wants to stay at Napoli. We want to leave, but we are waiting for the end of the Euros not to disturb Khvicha. The priority is a transfer to a team that plays in the Champions League.”
Napoli have since released a statement of their own, rejecting the prospect of any transfer on the players terms:
“Regarding the statements made by Kvaratskhelia’s agent, Mamuka Jugeli, and his father, Badri, Calcio Napoli reiterates that the player has a contract for another three years with the club. Kvaratskhelia is not on the market. It is not the agents or fathers who decide the future of a player under contract with Napoli, but the Calcio Napoli club!!! End of story.”
