Antonio Conte says Napoli winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has asked to leave the club. The Athletic reported this week that Liverpool could consider a move for the Georgia international, while Paris Saint-Germain were emerging as the leading contenders for a player who features on the list of potential targets for teams including Chelsea.

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.

Serie A leaders Napoli will need to quickly adapt to life without influential forward Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, coach Antonio Conte said, with the team facing a tough test at high-flying Atalanta on Saturday.
