PSG complete blockbuster signing of Napoli superstar

Paris Saint-Germain have announced the signing of Napoli winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia on Friday.

The former Serie A MVP rejected several offers to extend his contract at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, leading to the club's decision to cash in.

Reports in both Italy and France put the fee being paid for Kvaratskhelia, who had another two-and-a-half years left on his Napoli deal, in the region of €70m.

The Georgia international has signed a contract until 2029 with the French champions and will wear No. 7.

“It's a dream to be here. I've heard a lot of very positive things about Paris Saint-Germain. I feel immense pride in joining this great club and I'm really looking forward to wearing my new colours”, said Kvaratskhelia.

'"We are delighted to welcome Khvicha Kvaratskhelia to the Paris Saint-Germain family. Khvicha is one of the most exciting players in world football - a fantastic talent, but also a player who has courage and fights for the team above all else," added Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, President of Paris Saint-Germain.

"Khvicha was so determined to be part of our great club. I know he will achieve all his goals with us. We are delighted to be strengthening our squad and continuing to make the team the star of Paris Saint-Germain."

Kvaratskhelia joined Napoli for €10m in July 2022 and during his time with the Partenopei, won a rare Serie A title for the club in a season in which he was crowned the league's Player of the Season and also holds the record for the most Serie A Player of the Month award wins with four.
