It was an eventful afternoon of transfer news for Liverpool.
Relevo reported that Saudi Arabia expects Mo Salah to join a Saudi Pro League club in the summer.
Meanwhile, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, a rumored Liverpool target, has informed Napoli boss Antonio Conte of his intention to leave during the January transfer window. The talented Georgian winger appears increasingly likely to secure a move to French champions PSG.
The 23-year-old has contributed to eight goals in 19 appearances across all competitions in the 2024/25 season.
PSG closing in on Kvaratskhelia deal
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano shared on X (formerly Twitter) that Luis Enrique’s PSG have “agreed every term” of the Serie A star’s contract. Kvaratskhelia is set to receive a significant salary increase from his reported £32,496-per-week wages in Naples, according to Capology.
Was Liverpool seriously interested?
It’s worth noting that Liverpool were not actively pursuing Kvaratskhelia this January, though the club has acknowledged his clear talent. David Ornstein recently reported on X that Liverpool might consider a move if the winger became a “market opportunity.”
Now that Kvaratskhelia has signaled his intent to leave, this could qualify as an opportunistic transfer for Liverpool’s sporting director, Richard Hughes. However, with PSG seemingly well ahead in negotiations, the Reds are likely to miss out.
While disappointing, it’s far from a major setback for Liverpool, who already boast considerable quality on the left flank with Luis Diaz and Cody Gakpo.
