Football agent Christian Emile has told Fabrizio Romano that Napoli star Khvicha Kvaratskhelia will be an expensive signing for any big team in the upcoming transfer windows.
The Georgian has taken the European football world by storm after his move to Serie A this summer.
He has six goals and five assists in the league, as Napoli sit five points clear at the top of the table.
He has also impressed on the big stage in Europe. Despite a potentially tough group with Liverpool and Ajax, a couple of goals from Kvaratskhelia set them on their way to nearly confirming top of the group status.
This has already seen a whole host of elite clubs reportedly register interest in signing the 21-year-old in the future.
Chelsea are reportedly one of these sides, with reports from Italy claiming they are preparing to launch a bid in a couple of years.
Kvaratskhelia price set
Emile, who helped work on getting the Georgia international from Ruben Kazan to Napoli, has warned that a deal won’t be possible on the cheap.
He said: “You know what’s crazy, he’s done what he’s been in doing in Russia and Europe for the past couple of years. He’s come to Napoli, he’s been brilliant, and people are talking about 100m euros.
“For me, if he continues to perform like this till the end of the season and next season, because there’s a 0% chance they sell him now, he will reach 100m euros for sure.”
Chelsea may hold a slight advantage in negotiations if it comes down to player preference however.
It has been reported that Kvaratskhelia was a Chelsea fan when growing up, after being pictured wearing a Blues shirt as a kid.
If his career continues to fly at the trajectory it’s currently headed, that quoted fee could end up being a bargain.
