Napoli winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is expected to cost $100million if the undefeated Serie A leaders choose to sell at the end of the season.

Kvaratskhelia, 21, was with Rubin Kazan for three seasons before the Russian invasion of Ukraine halted their 2021-22 campaign, allowing the Georgia-born player to sign with Georgian club Dinamo Batumi.

Napoli scooped him up from Batumi for around $10m, and he has been in fine form since arriving in Italy. In 12 Serie A games, Kvaratskhelia has six goals and seven assists, while adding two goals and three assists in five Champions League matches.

A January sale has been ruled out, but if the club decides to cash in on their shrewd piece of business, they could reportedly multiply their investment 10-fold.

According to Kvaratskhelia's agent Christian Emile in an interview with Fabrizio Romano, the Georgian sensation affectionately referred to as 'Kvaradona' by Napoli fans is one of the hottest names on the transfer market.

In the interview, reported by the London Evening Standard, Emile said there is "a zero percent chance" he is sold in January as Napoli push for their first title since the 1989-90 season. 

However, he said "people are talking about $100m" when discussing Kvaratskhelia's value now, and if his form continues in this fashion the rest of the season, Emile added, "he will reach 100m for sure".

The report names Liverpool and Chelsea as two of the key clubs known to have interest at this point.
