Kvaratskhelia has received rave reviews since joining Napoli in 2022 – he contributed 12 goals and 13 assists in his debut season, helping the club to their first Scudetto in 33 years.
But despite being a fan favorite, he could leave the club as there is no movement on extending his contract, which expires in 2027.
His situation has put a number of clubs on alert, with Manchester United and Liverpool just two clubs keeping an eye on the 23-year-old.
However, the Georgia international is believed to be in favor of a move to France, with Paris Saint-Germain leading the race for his services.
The Pitch Prospect correspondent Ben Jacobs has given an update on the striker’s future, with PSG willing to pay around £67million.
Taking to social media, Jacobs revealed that the player held talks with Les Parisiens last summer and the Ligue 1 leaders remain interested in him.
He posted on X: “PSG is working on Khvicha Kvaratskhelia to join in January.”
“The Georgian winger was a top target in the summer but Napoli refused to sell.”
“At the moment it is not so clear because Kvaratskhelia has not signed a new contract.
“Personal conditions should not be a problem as the fundamentals were agreed upon last year. PSG was ready to pay almost 80 million euros.” [£67m, release clause].

“Various formulas (including players + money) to achieve this valuation are being explored.”
Should PSG manage to secure the Napoli star’s signing, it would certainly be a bitter blow to his other admirers.
Since his first season in Italy, Kvaratskhelia has continued to delight fans, with the winger being directly involved in eight goals in Serie A this season.
He also enjoyed a stunning Euro 2024, where he inspired Georgia to reach the knockout stages in their major tournament debut.
With Marcus Rashford looking set to leave Old Trafford, United were tipped to sign Kvaratskhelia as his replacement.
Meanwhile, rivals Liverpool, already blessed with a number of options on the left wing, are looking to bolster their attacking options with their reinforcements in a bid to win their second Premier League title.

Luis Diaz, Cody Gakpo, Diogo Jota and Darwin Nunez are all stars who have featured on the left side for the Reds this season.
In his press conference ahead of the club’s FA Cup third round tie against Accrington Stanley, coach Arne Slot was asked about the reported interest in Kvaratskhelia.
He remained tight-lipped and simply stated: “99/100 times it was clear at the end of the window that almost all of these stories were not true.”
“But no comments from me.”
