Liverpool’s otherwise quiet transfer window might take a surprising turn, as reports suggest the club is preparing for a “sensational late move.”
Fans have been disheartened by the club’s limited activity in the transfer market this summer, especially with their competitors making substantial additions to their teams.
Despite the arrival of new manager Arne Slot, who was expected to receive support in the transfer market to acquire players suited to his tactics, Liverpool has yet to make a significant signing.
However, this situation might soon change. According to Football Insider, Liverpool is considering a dramatic late bid for Napoli winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
The Georgian international has been a long-standing target for Liverpool, and the club might now finally make an attempt to sign him.
Liverpool’s interest in acquiring a wide attacker is consistent with their earlier pursuit of Newcastle United’s Anthony Gordon.
With Gordon staying at St James’ Park, Liverpool’s focus on Kvaratskhelia is understandable.
Kvaratskhelia has garnered attention from top European clubs following a standout period at Napoli, where he netted 14 goals and registered 17 assists in his debut season. Last season, he maintained his impressive performance with 11 goals and 9 assists.
To secure Kvaratskhelia’s services, Liverpool will need to meet Napoli’s £70 million asking price.
Although making a late move for such a key player could be challenging, Liverpool’s financial position is strong, having spent minimally this summer. Adding Kvaratskhelia could rejuvenate Anfield and greatly enhance fan enthusiasm.
