Napoli watches Kvernadze: the Georgian bonus that could be worth 20 million
Tonight Napoli will study Giorgi Kvernadze up close, while his transfer story already shows a huge jump in value: from €800,000 to almost €20 million, with a 50 percent sell‑on bonus for the Georgian club Batumi.
A journey from Frosinone to Napoli
Kvernadze arrived in Italy four years ago at Frosinone, a intuition of Guido Angelozzi. The initial fee was €800,000; today his value is estimated at around €20 million, a figure that could rise further.
President Stirpe stated that at the moment there are no concrete offers. If any were to arrive, they will be evaluated, adding that Batumi retains 50 percent of any future resale.
Among the interested clubs are Roma, Fiorentina and Napoli itself, which will have the opportunity to watch the youngster tonight.
The link with Georgia is clear: Kvernadze comes from Batumi, the same club that produced Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, already a star at the Maradona, where he dribbled and won two league titles.
Il Corriere dello Sport highlights the similarities between the two Georgians and the possibility for Napoli to replicate Kvaratskhelia's success.
