La Gazzetta dello Sport has revealed that the agent of Napoli striker Kvicha Kvaratskhelia is demanding a salary that exceeds the club’s maximum wage.
The Georgia international has emerged as a key player for the team since his arrival in 2022. Scoring 12 goals and providing 13 assists in Serie A as the team cruised to a historic title triumph.สมัคร ufabet
Although his contract runs until 2027, Napoli are keen to extend the player’s contract. And increase his salary from the current €1.5 million per year.
However, despite months of negotiations, no conclusion has been reached. According to reports from the Boot press. Kvicha is asking for a salary of 8 million euros per year. But Napoli are ready to pay no more than 6 million euros per year. Which is the highest figure the club receives, equal to what Romelu Lukaku is receiving.
But the Georgian winger’s representatives have demanded a slight tweak. They are fine with the initial salary, but it to be increased to €3m in the third year of a new potential contract.
The major issue that has popped up in negotiations it that Kvaratskhelia’s agent wants a €80m release clause inserted, which Napoli are hesitant upon.
The 23-year-old winger’s current contract expires at the end of June, 2027. He has five goals and two assists for Antonio Conte’s side in 10 games this season.
