Khvicha Kvaratskhelia completes move to PSG from Napoli, signing until 2029, bringing speed, skill, and scoring ability to the team.
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia completed his expected move from Napoli to Paris Saint-Germain when he signed a deal until 2029 with the record 12-time French champion.
French media earlier reported the 23-year-old Georgia forward was in Paris to have his medical check, and PSG confirmed the transfer in a statement late Friday (January 17, 2025).
“It's a dream to be here. I've heard a lot of very positive things about Paris Saint-Germain," Kvaratskhelia said. “I feel immense pride in joining.”
No further information was given but L'Equipe estimated the transfer fee to be 70 million euros ($72 million) without bonuses.
The move comes a day after he posted a farewell video to Napoli fans, who affectionately nicknamed him “Kvaradona” in homage to Argentina great Diego Maradona, the club's greatest ever player. Kvaratskhelia starred in Napoli's Serie A title-winning team in 2023.
Napoli coach Antonio Conte confirmed last Saturday that Kvaratskhelia requested a move.
PSG lost Kylian Mbappe to Real Madrid in the offseason and adding a dynamic player like Kvaratskhelia would provide some punch to its attack. He's a scorer and skilful provider with speed and dribbling ability.
