Napoli sporting director Giovanni Manna has shared insights into the ongoing negotiations with one of the club's brightest stars, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
Quote: "We want to finalize a new deal to reward Kvara. We're still negotiating. If we can't reach an agreement now, we'll revisit the discussions at the end of the season," Manna told Fabrizio Romano.
Background: Reports earlier suggested that a compromise is still far off. Kvaratskhelia's representatives are allegedly demanding a fivefold increase in his salary.
The Georgian winger's current contract runs until June 2027, with his annual salary estimated at €1.5 million. Despite the challenges, Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis remains confident in the club's ability to retain the player.
