Ruben Amorim wants Man United to sign £90m-rated serie A winger as possible Antony upgrade -Reports
Ruben Amorim reportedly wants Manchester United to sign 23-year-old Georgian international Khvicha Kvaratskhelia from Serie A club Napoli to replace Antony.
Ruben Amorim is interested in Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, according to a report from Caught Offside.
Given Antony’s unclear future at Old Trafford, the next Manchester United manager is already preparing to assemble his team.
He has therefore determined that the 23-year-old attacker from Napoli, who is valued at £90 million, is the best option to succeed the Brazilian international.
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia’s voyage to Napoli Khvicha Kvaratskhelia joined Napoli from Dinamo Tbilisi in July 2022 and has since become as one of Serie A’s top players.
The teenage player quickly established himself at Diego Armando Maradona Stadium, helping the Partenopei win the Serie A championship after thirty years.
The 23-year-old was exceptional in his debut season but blew hot and cold last term. However, Kvaratskhelia has been back to his best under the tutelage of Antonio Conte, chipping in with five goals and two assists in ten Serie A appearances across all competitions.
Meanwhile, the Georgian attacker’s progress in the 2024/25 season has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several high-profile clubs across Europe. The latest report has claimed that tpAmorim wants Manchester United to replace Antony with Kvaratskhelia at Old Trafford next year.
Will Manchester United sign Kvaratskhelia?
Manchester United can do with a player like Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. While the Red Devils have a few top-notch left-wingers, Alejandro Garnacho and Marcus Rashford can also play on the right flank.
So, signing a game-changer like Kvaratskhelia can be a blessing for the Premier League heavyweights.
Meanwhile, Amorim prefers a system with three centre-backs and three attackers, and Kvaratskhelia can be the ideal fit in his setup. However, the Georgian international will not come cheap, with Napoli valuing him at £90 million.
So, signing him from the Serie A club will be a tall order for Manchester United amid concerns surrounding the Profit and Sustainability Rules.
In addition, recent reports have claimed that the 23-year-old prefers Arsenal or Liverpool as his next destination. So, it will be interesting to see if Manchester United will be in contention to land Kvaratskhelia’s signature, especially if they cannot offer UEFA Champions League football
