Manchester City fans explode with excitement as fresh transfer story links club to Khvicha Kvaratskhelia

Manchester City fans on social media have exploded with excitement as the club have been linked with an interest in Napoli winger, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.

The Premier League champions have just come off the back of a hugely excitement transfer window that saw them hugely bolster their attacking line.

The most recent summer market was one of great transition at the Etihad Stadium.

While Pep Guardiola's attacking options saw the loss of both Gabriel Jesus to Arsenal, and Raheem Sterling to Chelsea, a duo of exciting forward players arrived in the North-West.

Manchester City won the race for perhaps the most in-demand forward in Europe, with Txiki Begiristain and co. completing a deal to sign Erling Haaland from Borussia Dortmund.

The Norway international arrived at the same time as Julian Alvarez from River Plate.

City officials moved ahead of the rest by securing a deal to sign the young Argentina international from South America in January, keeping the player on-loan in his home country for the remainder of the campaign.

However, the latest transfer rumour to emerge from Europe would suggest that Manchester City are not content with just sitting on the options they have available at present.

According to the information of Italian newspaper Calciomercato, as translated and relayed by Sport Witness, the performances of Napoli's Khvicha Kvaratskhelia in Serie A and the Champions League have caught the eye of both Liverpool and Manchester City.

Details have been provided via their journalist Daniele Longo, who reports that the Georgian winger is ‘impressing everyone’ and officials from both Anfield and the Etihad Stadium are now following him with ‘great attention’.

Manchester City officials in particular are known for constantly adapting and evolving their first-team squad, often keeping them ahead of the competition, especially in Europe.

In fact, at present, it is also understood that transfer chiefs within the Etihad Stadium offices are bracing themselves for a summer of significant change in 2023.

One area of Pep Guardiola's squad that is likely to be addressed is central midfield.

The futures of Ilkay Gundogan and Bernardo Silva remain uncertain, however club officials will be looking to secure clarity on their respective situations over the course of the coming months by opening contract talks.

Nevertheless, a list of potential options to replace either or both of the aforementioned duo are being drawn up.

One name that is likely to be a priority focus is Jude Bellingham, with the England international continuing to impress across all competitions with Borussia Dortmund.
