Man City and Arsenal compete to sign another Khvicha Kvaratskhelia in Football Sport Express.co.uk.
Vakhtang Salia, a 16-year-old football player, has drawn comparisons with Napoli winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia due to their shared Georgian nationality and background at Dinamo Tbilisi’s youth system. Salia is considered one of Europe’s most promising prospects and has garnered interest from several top clubs. He has also notched two assists during his time on the field.
The winger’s talent has sparked interest from various European clubs, potentially causing City and Arsenal to miss out on signing him. In his homeland, Salia is likened to Kvaratskhelia as both players developed in Georgia at Dinamo Tbilisi, debuted at 16, and attracted attention from major teams in their teenage years. Kvaratskhelia’s potential big-money move to another club has been the subject of speculation, with City reportedly expressing interest in securing the 23-year-old’s services.
His agent mentioned that Kvaratskhelia would consider a transfer to clubs such as Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Barcelona, or Manchester City, but not to Saudi, despite offers. Furthermore, Kvaratskhelia’s agent stated that offers from clubs like Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain have been put forward ahead of the upcoming summer transfer window. He anticipated a clearer picture of the situation in May.
As the Premier League season progresses, City and Arsenal are expected to be active in the transfer market, regardless of their positions in the title race. Both teams are currently pursuing Liverpool, with eight games left in the season.
