TODAY’S TOP TRANSFER: Fabrizio Romano Confirms Target’s Contract Settled as Liverpool Monitors Situation

It was a significant day for Liverpool regarding transfer news.

Relevo reported that Saudi Arabia anticipates Mohamed Salah will join a Saudi Pro League team this summer.

Meanwhile, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, a player previously connected to a potential move to Liverpool, has informed Napoli manager Antonio Conte of his desire to leave in the January transfer window. Unfortunately for Liverpool, the promising Georgian winger seems increasingly likely to join French champions PSG.

The 23-year-old has netted eight goals in 19 appearances across all competitions in the 2024/25 season.

PSG Nearing Completion of Kvaratskhelia Transfer

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano confirmed on X (formerly Twitter) that PSG has “agreed every term” of the Georgian winger’s contract. Kvaratskhelia is set to receive a salary significantly higher than his current £32,496-per-week earnings at Napoli.

PSG and the player have agreed on a five-year contract, with his salary potentially being four to five times his current pay. Negotiations with Napoli are ongoing, with a meeting planned next week to finalize the transfer.

Was Liverpool Seriously Interested?

It’s important to note that Liverpool wasn’t actively pursuing Kvaratskhelia this January, though they certainly acknowledge his considerable talent. David Ornstein reported on Thursday that Liverpool had some interest in Kvaratskhelia and might have considered a move if he became a viable option on the market.

However, with Kvaratskhelia now confirming his intention to leave in January, it could have presented an opportunity for Liverpool’s sporting director, Richard Hughes. Still, PSG appears to have already made significant progress on the deal, making it improbable that Liverpool will land the winger.
