All the Transfer Options to Replace Kvicha Kavaratskhelia at Napoli
Napoli is about to sign a lucrative deal that sees Georgian attacking midfielder Kvicha Kavaratskhelia move to Paris Saint-Germain. But who will Antonio De Laurentiis splash the big money on to replace him?
Alejandro Garnacho to Napoli?
Alejandro Garnacho has shown himself to be a potential world-beater last season. However, the Manchester United midfielder has endured a dry spell and finds himself rarer and rarer in Ruben Amorim’s starting line-up.
With United in need of funds for a squad rebuild, the Old Trafford side looks willing to sell for around £60million. According to reports, Napoli is battling Chelsea for the signature.
Verdict: Garnacho’s transfer would be a good deal. It would show that the Partenopei mean business and would bring a potentially great player to Naples.
Darwin Nunez to Napoli?
Darwin Nunez‘s time at Anfield hasn’t been without success. But frequent misses from great opportunities have made Arne Slot consider other options up front.
The Uruguayan would be anxious to find a club that prioritizes him. If Napoli can provide, at least, part of the wages he earns at Liverpool, Conte could have himself a new forward.
Verdict: Nunez’s performances don’t suggest that he could immediately improve this Napoli side. Besides, his wages could represent an unnecessary risk. Not the best deal at the moment.
Karim Adeyemi to Napoli?
Karim Adeyemi’s performance in last season’s Champions League final seemed to suggest that top clubs would battle tooth and nail to prize him away from Borussia Dortmund.
Why hasn’t this happened? Both Adeyemi and Dortmund have enjoyed relatively poor showings this season. Dortmund may look to cash in on the 22-year-old while bidders are still available.
Verdict: Great transfer for the future. Karim Adeyemi possesses the speed, skill and vision reminiscent of Kvicha Kavaratskhelia at his best. Furthermore, the deal could fetch additional funds when a richer club pursues in the future.
Carney Chukwuemeka to Napoli?
Chelsea is looking to offload some of the many talented players who are also on high wages and rarely playing. Carney Chukwuemeka is one of those players, albeit not the most high-profile one.
According to reports, Napoli is interested in signing the youngster despite his relative lack of experience at the top level.
Verdict: Carney Chukwuemeka would be a good transfer for the future but not an immediate replacement for Kvicha Kavaratskhelia in spite of the similarly hard-to-spell names. On the other hand, Napoli’s transfer business might include other priorities.
