Napoli star Khvicha Kvaratskhelia 'tempted by Newcastle transfer if they qualify for Champions League' | The Sun
18th March 2023

NAPOLI superstar Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is reportedly interested in a move to Newcastle if they secure Champions League football next season.

The 22-year-old is in discussions with the Italian giants about signing a new deal – less than 12 months on from joining the club for £8.6million.

His existing contract runs until 2027 but he is earning just £26,000-a-week.

A remarkable first season has seen him rack up 13 goals and 15 assists in 29 appearances.

And while an improved deal looks to be on the cards, Kvaratskhelia, nicknamed "Kvaradona", wants a release clause put into his contract.

Napoli are reluctant to oblige as they value their man at around £140m.

They are also in with a chance of winning the Champions League as they prepare to take on AC Milan in the quarter-finals.
