"Next season, we could see Kvaratskhelia playing for Real Madrid"

Everything points to Real Madrid being interested in Kvaratskhelia, one of the surprise packages of this season's brilliant Napoli side. If the 'Merengues' fans are excited about the possibility of signing him, they will be even more so after hearing the words of former player Jamie Carragher on 'CBS Sports', where he warned that it would not be strange to see him at the Santiago Bernabeu next season.

"I think Kvaratskhelia is the most interesting player in Europe. Next season, we could see him playing for Real Madrid," he said, commenting on the 'Azzurri's Champions League match against Eintracht Frankfurt, in which the former Dinamo Batumi man missed a penalty. Even so, he impressed the pundits enough to spark such considerations.

At just 22 years old, the player has a contract until 2027 in Serie A and his market value is 72.5 million euros, so it would be a challenge not only for the Madrid board, but for any football club, to sign him. President Aurelio de Laurentiis, however, left the future of both the star and Victor Osimhen up in the air in a statement to 'TNT Mexico'.

Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain, at the moment, are the other two teams, apart from Madrid, that have been linked with an interest in signing Kvaratskhelia. With only four months of competition left until the transfer window reopens, it won't take long to find out where the Georgian, who is having the best season of his career, really fits in.
