Paris St Germain fans are extremely excited about the appearance of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. They have been familiar with superstars such as Lionel Messi, Neymar and Kylian Mbappe recently.
The Georgia international was signed by PSG for €65 million under a 4.5-year contract to continue the superstars. Of course, Kvaratskhelia is not at the level (both talented and image) of the "MNM" trio in the past, but after all, not many players have achieved that at the moment.
Kvaratskhelia, who is about to turn 24 next month, will travel to Paris to write her own destiny, create heritage and reach new heights.
It can be said that Kvaratskhelia is one of the greatest players at Diego Maradona Stadium. In the past two seasons, the 23-year-old winger has stirred up Serie A with Victor Osimhen in the Napoli shirt.
Kvaratskhelia was completely unknown when he arrived in Italy but quickly showed off his talent. He stands out with his strengths in speed, dribbling skills, scoring goals and bravery both with and without the ball.
The former Dinamo Batumi player was one of the servants who helped Napoli move towards the first Serie A championship in 33 years. Also in the 2022-2023 season, he was honored as the Best Player of Serie A and Best Young Player in the Champions League.
Despite Kvaratskhelia's sluggish run of form in 18 months, he has left Napoli with incredible numbers. The 23-year-old has 46 goals and 48 assists in 191 appearances in all competitions in just over two seasons.
For PSG, Kvaratskhelia is the only option, especially since they tried to sign him last summer. When Marcus Rashford was offered a move to Paris a few weeks ago, they refused.
When Karim Adeyemi became another option, PSG also shook their heads. Last August, they also did not pursue Jadon Sancho and even Rafael Leao of AC Milan. Coach Luis Enrique just wants Kvaratskhelia to be in his squad.
In his flexible 4-3-3 formation, Enrique believes the Georgia international can make a breakthrough and meet all the criteria: youthful, versatile, technical and hard-working. However, Kvaratskhelia still needs to improve, a challenge that Enrique likes to solve.
PSG had many wingers in the squad before recruiting Kvaratskhelia, including Bradley Barcola, Desire Doue, Ousmane Dembele and Lee Kang-in. However, none of them could make the Spaniard truly happy.
The arrival of Kvaratskhelia will change the dynamics at the Parc des Princes. Wherever he plays, this player will bring balance to PSG's attack, which is too dependent on the pair Achraf Hakimi - Dembele on the right wing.
For Enrique and Luis Campos - PSG's sporting director, the Georgia winger is the perfect replacement for Mbappe. Of course, Kvaratskhelia will find it difficult to score 40 goals a season like Mbappe did, but it will bring balance and create a consistent threat from both wings.
Kvaratskhelia was so enthusiastic about Enrique's vision that he was so excited, a rare thing for the Spaniard.
The bustling Parc des Princes will be ready to give Kvaratskhelia all the affection that the new symbol of the team deserves.
