Liverpool’s interest in Napoli winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has intensified, with reports suggesting the club is exploring a bold swap deal to secure the Georgian star.
According to *The Athletic’s* David Ornstein, while Liverpool has not been actively pursuing Kvaratskhelia, they could make a move if the player becomes available.
Now, *Rousing The Kop* claims Liverpool is preparing an ambitious plan to bring the 23-year-old to Anfield.
The report suggests Liverpool sees Kvaratskhelia as a potential long-term replacement for Mohamed Salah, whose future at the club remains uncertain.
With Salah’s contract expiring at the end of the season and no extension agreed upon, the Reds are exploring contingency options.
Kvaratskhelia’s versatility, creativity, and goal-scoring prowess make him an ideal candidate to succeed Salah. Liverpool is reportedly considering a swap deal involving one of their high-profile players, such as Darwin Núñez or Federico Chiesa, to sweeten the offer for Napoli.
Chiesa, already linked with a move to the Italian champions, could make the deal more feasible given Napoli’s interest in him.
This approach reflects Liverpool’s determination to secure Kvaratskhelia, despite competition from PSG, who are believed to be leading the race for the winger.
The proposed swap deal could offer Napoli ready-made attacking reinforcements while allowing Liverpool to acquire one of Europe’s most exciting talents.
Since joining Napoli from Rubin Kazan, Kvaratskhelia has established himself as one of Europe’s premier attackers. In 107 appearances for Napoli, he has tallied an impressive 30 goals and 29 assists across all competitions.
This season, he has continued to shine with five goals and three assists in 19 matches, bringing his career total to 52 goals and 53 assists.
Although Kvaratskhelia’s contract with Napoli runs until 2027, the lack of renewal talks has attracted attention from top clubs.
PSG’s strong interest puts them in a favorable position, but Liverpool’s proposed swap deal could provide a competitive edge in the battle for the Georgian international.
