Liverpool are observing developments involving Napoli winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who is currently the target of a proposal from Paris Saint-Germain.
Kvaratskhelia, 23, has emerged as one of the most sought-after attackers in Europe since his move to Napoli from Georgian club Dinamo Batumi in 2022 for €10 million (£8.4m).
Chelsea and Manchester United are also fans of the 23-year-old talent.
Napoli themselves are interested in Liverpool’s Federico Chiesa but have not yet made an approach.
Meanwhile, Brighton and Borussia Dortmund are among the clubs interested in Liverpool’s Harvey Elliott.
Kvaratskhelia played a key role in leading the Italian giants to the Serie A title in 2022-23, marking their first domestic victory since the iconic era of Diego Maradona in the 1980s.
Liverpool are closely monitoring Napoli star Khvicha Kvaratskhelia as the January window approaches.
Kvaratskhelia has risen to become one of the most exciting attackers in Europe since his arrival at Napoli in 2022.
However, there has been little advancement regarding a new contract, and he might be sold this month.
The Georgian, who has previously played for clubs like Rubin Kazan, Lokomotiv Moscow, and Dinamo Tbilisi, is under contract in Naples until the summer of 2027.
Negotiations between Napoli and Kvaratskhelia regarding a new deal have stalled.
The Reds would encounter strong competition but could pursue Kvaratskhelia if he is made available this month.
It is thought that while Arne Slot’s squad is not specifically targeting a player of Kvaratskhelia’s type, they do hold him in high regard, with the Reds poised to seize an opportunity if it presents itself.
Nonetheless, any transfer would likely hinge on a significant departure from the club this month.
Liverpool have a strong lineup in attacking positions, with Luis Diaz, Cody Gakpo, Diogo Jota, and Darwin Nunez all capable of playing on the left, which is where Kvaratskhelia has excelled.
This doesn’t even account for right-wingers Mohamed Salah and Chiesa.
Kvaratskhelia has netted five goals and contributed three assists in 19 matches this season.
Arne Slot’s team is not specifically pursuing a player like Kvaratskhelia, but they do respect his abilities.
The Georgian was part of the Napoli squad that clinched Serie A under Luciano Spalletti in 2023.
Napoli, managed by Antonio Conte, currently sits at the top of Serie A as the season reaches its midpoint.
They will resume play on Sunday when they face Hellas Verona.
Slot is aiming for multiple trophies during his inaugural season at Anfield, with the Reds leading the Premier League table and Champions League group stage, while also remaining in both domestic competitions.
However, the Dutchman’s hopes in the Carabao Cup took a hit on Wednesday, as his Liverpool team lost 1-0 to Tottenham in the first leg of their semi-final and must overcome the deficit at Anfield next month.
