PSG send Arsenal €33m Kvaratskhelia transfer message
Arsenal have been linked with a sensational move for PSG winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia amid rumours that the Georgia international has caused unrest in the Champions League winners’ squad.

PSG’s ‘clear’ Kvaratskhelia call
PSG have delivered a decisive message to Arsenal over the future of the former Napoli star, according to Nicolo Schira.
Taking to X, he posted: “Despite the latest rumours about interest from several Premier League clubs, PSG’s plans for Khvicha Kvaratskhelia are clear: he is considered a key player and they want to keep him in Paris.”
Luis Enrique’s side have made it clear that they intend to honour the final three years of the winger’s contract, which are worth a total of €33 million, including bonuses.
PSG in line for substantial profit
Should PSG elect to cash in on Kvaratskhelia, they would be in line to make a massive profit on a player they signed from Napoli in the January 2025 transfer window for €80m.
It seemed like a good value deal at that point, but this sentiment has only grown since.
Kvaratskhelia’s Estimated Transfer Value (ETV) has risen to €108.7m, meaning that he is one of an elite group of 19 players, including Arsenal pair Bukayo Saka and Declan Rice, valued above €100m.
