Kvaratskhelia was named Serie A Player of the Month for August and has already scored six goals and assisted three in all competitions.
He has delivered a string of brilliant performances and he memorably tore Liverpool apart in a 4-1 Champions League victory last month.
It has quickly become clear that this is a truly special player in the making, leading to Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti revealing his admiration for the Georgian.
Ancelotti also admitted that he had tried to sign Kvaratskhelia while he was manager of Napoli.
This follows on from other reports that Madrid are interested in signing the wideman at the end of the season.
What did Kvaratskhelia say about Ronaldo?
“It was a great emotion, he made me happy and I thank him from the bottom of my heart,” Kvaratskhelia told Corriere dello Sport.
“Cristiano Ronaldo is my idol, even if my first one was Real Madrid’s Guti. When I played in the streets of Tbilisi with my friends, I wore a white shirt, writing his name on the back.”
Kvaratskhelia’s admission will only further fuel reports that he could join Madrid next season.
The winger’s form has led Napoli to the top of Serie A, while they have also been arguably the best team in the Champions League so far.
Napoli have won all three of their group games, scoring 13 goals.
