The father of one of Chelsea’s top transfer targets has now claimed that his son would far prefer to play for Real Madrid than them.
Badri Kvaratskhelia, father of Khvicha, has now claimed to Geo Team that he is certain his son dreams of playing for the elite club who he played against in the Champions League only last night.
Kvaratskhelia could not inspire his side to a win last night against Madrid, with Jude Bellingham again running the show for the hosts.
There have been a lot of reports recently that have stated that a number of elite clubs were considering signing the winger, who may be available for a fee of around £87m.
Chelsea have been one of those linked with a move, with it even being claimed that the Blues were in pole position to pull off a move if they so desired.
Kvaratskhelia’s father may have cast some doubt over that though, saying the player still dreams of playing for Real Madrid.
Kvaratskhelia dreams of Real Madrid
He said: “Khvicha always dreamed and still dreams of playing for Real Madrid. I am sure about it.
“For Khvicha, playing vs Real Madrid was special. In my family everyone is a Real Madrid supporter, except me.”
Chelsea may be more keen to make a move for one of his Napoli teammates in Victor Osimhen.
The Blues are keen to sign a striker either in January or this summer, and there aren’t many better in world football right now than the 24-year-old.
It is likely to be a story for the end of the season though, with a deal of that magnitude always difficult to pull off midway through the campaign.
