Napoli are facing a big setback in the current January transfer window as their club idol and 2022-23 MVP of the season Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is set to leave the Azzurri and will join PSG after talks over a new deal collapsed recently.

Napoli has taken control of Serie A even without injured and unsettled star Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. Napoli coach Antonio Conte confirmed Saturday that Kvaratskhelia had asked to leave the club.

Kvaratskhelia joined Napoli in a €13.3m transfer from Dinamo Batumi in the summer of 2022. He was voted Serie A 's most valuable player in 2022-23 after he scored 12 goals and set up 13 more in 34 league games in his first campaign to help the club win its first Scudetto in 33 years.
