Liverpool’s typically uneventful transfer window could take an unexpected turn, with reports indicating the club might be planning a “sensational late move.”
Fans have been disappointed by Liverpool’s limited transfer activity this summer, especially as rivals have strengthened their squads significantly.
Although new manager Arne Slot was anticipated to get support in the transfer market to bring in players that fit his style, Liverpool has yet to make a major signing.
This might soon change, however. Football Insider reports that Liverpool is contemplating a dramatic late bid for Napoli winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
The Georgian international has long been a target for Liverpool, and the club might now finally pursue him.
Liverpool’s interest in a wide attacker aligns with their previous pursuit of Newcastle United’s Anthony Gordon. With Gordon remaining at St James’ Park, Liverpool’s focus on Kvaratskhelia is understandable.
Kvaratskhelia has attracted attention from top European clubs after an impressive stint at Napoli, where he scored 14 goals and provided 17 assists in his debut season, and followed up with 11 goals and 9 assists last season.
To acquire Kvaratskhelia, Liverpool would need to meet Napoli’s £70 million asking price.
Despite the challenges of making a late bid for such a key player, Liverpool’s strong financial position—having spent little this summer—means that signing Kvaratskhelia could reinvigorate Anfield and boost fan excitement.
