On Monday morning, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia’s father, Badri Kvaratskhelia, and the player’s agent, Mamuka Jugeli, expressed the athlete’s intention to leave Napoli. The Italian club responded to the statements and assured that the striker is not on the market, having a contract for another three years.
“I don’t want people to think that Kvara wants to stay at Napoli. We want to leave, but we will wait until the end of the European Championship so as not to upset Khvicha. The priority is to play for a club that competes in the Champions League. The worst thing is that, If he stays at Napoli, he will lose a year,” Mamuka told the newspaper Sport Imedi.
The agent hopes that with Antonio Conte the team will return to competing for major titles, but he still wants the Georgian left winger to leave.
“Under Conte’s command, the club has big projects and I’m sure it will qualify again for the Champions League and fight for the Scudetto. However, that doesn’t mean that Kvaratskhelia wants to stay. I haven’t spoken to him about it, the The most important thing now is the selection”, he said.
Kvara’s father also expressed his desire for the athlete to leave Napoli and criticized the number of coaches on the team in recent years.
“I don’t want Khvicha to stay at Napoli. Last year three coaches changed and it’s difficult to play in this situation. He worked with four coaches in two years and that worries me a lot, but the future will be his decision”, he reported.
In reference to the statements of Kvaratskhelia’s agent, Mamuka Jugeli, and his father Badri, Calcio Napoli reiterates that the player has a contract for another three years with the club. Kvaratskhelia is not on the market. It is not the agents or the fathers who decide the future…
