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.

If he were to leave PSG, data analytics firm SciSports has recommended that he move to Real Madrid as opposed to the Premier League.

Basing this on a variety of factors, including potential development, game time, playing style and formation, Los Blancos are given a massive Club Fit score of 90. Liverpool, meanwhile, get a very healthy 89 and Chelsea score 80.

Arteta’s side, meanwhile, have a rather more modest 67, with doubts arising over how much pitch time Kvaratskhelia would see as well as Arteta’s playing style matching his attributes.
