Igor Korneev comments on surprising squad changes at Napoli mid-season.
Former Barcelona player Igor Korneev commented on the potential deal involving Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who is planning to move from Napoli to PSG in January, during the Match TV program. Khvicha has already headed to France for contract negotiations. Amidst a season where Antonio Conte's team is a strong contender for the Serie A title, the key player of Napoli is leaving the club.
Currently, Napoli is leading the Italian league with 47 points. Inter is close behind with 43 points and two pending matches. Such a move delights the competition, as losing Kvaratskhelia significantly reduces Napoli's chances for the championship. Korneev noted that arranging the player's departure post-season would have been wiser. This season, Khvicha played 19 matches across all club tournaments, scoring five goals and providing three assists.
