The sports director of Napoli, who was formerly linked to a transfer to Liverpool, has stated that talks are underway to extend Kvaratskhelia's contract. The 23-year-old was briefly linked to Liverpool throughout the summer until Federico Chiesa from Juventus arrived.

The Reds had previously been unsuccessful in their bids to sign Anthony Gordon, a top player for Newcastle United, for £75 million, which would have required Joe Gomez to transfer. Following the news that Gordon had been the subject of discussions, Liverpool were connected to many other left-sided strikers, notably Kvaratskhelia. Amid the rumors, the Georgian star claimed he will think about what to do after the European Championships this summer. With little under three years left on his contract, Kvaratskhelia stayed in Naples, while Liverpool eventually signed Chiesa for £12.5 million.
