Kvaratskhelia seals PSG move from Napoli
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has swapped Serie A for Ligue 1, with the forward completing his move to Paris Saint-Germain from Napoli.
Paris Saint-Germain have completed the signing of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia from Napoli for a reported fee of €70million.
Kvaratskhelia, who put in a transfer request last week, has put pen to paper on a four-and-a-half-year deal at Parc des Princes, where he will wear the number 7 shirt for Luis Enrique's side.
The Georgia international played a starring role as Napoli romped to a third-ever Scudetto in 2022-23, scoring 12 goals while also providing 10 assists.
Following a disappointing 2023-24 campaign, in which the Partenopei finished 10th, the forward has registered eight goal involvements (five goals, three assists) in Serie A this term, with Antonio Conte's side topping the table after 20 matches.
Kvaratskhelia will certainly boost Ligue 1 leaders PSG's attacking threat as they look to win a fourth successive domestic title.

"It's a dream to be here. I've heard a lot of very positive things about Paris Saint-Germain," said Kvaratskhelia.
"I feel immense pride in joining this great club, and I'm really looking forward to wearing my new colours.
"I want to experience new challenges by coming here to Paris, new dreams, new goals. I want to improve so that I can help the team as much as possible and give my best."
Kvaratskhelia has been involved in 47 Serie A goals (28 goals, 19 assists) since his competition debut in 2022, with only four goals registering more during that time.
Meanwhile, no player has attempted (482) or completed (196) more dribbles than the 23-year-old.
Only Rafael Leao (21) has provided more assists and Federico Dimarco (151) created more chances (145) than him.
