Napoli’s Kvaratskhelia stance
Former Chelsea manager Antonio Conte has pledged that Napoli star Khvicha Kvaratskhelia will not leave the club this summer.
Conte signed a three-year deal in Naples earlier this summer and will look to revive the club after they finished 10th in Serie A last term. And the first task he faces is keeping hold of Kvaratskhelia.
“In addition to being a top player, I consider him a good person, important in the locker room,” he said. “The same can be said for Kvaratskelia. Last year’s frustration led to unclear situations. But the players know that difficulties can happen, we must roll up our sleeves all together with respect and trust.
“I knew the situations of all the players very well, I vetoed Kvara, Di Lorenzo, Lobotka, Anguissa. Osimhen is a different situation, I already knew that. But I’m not going into discussions for him, it’s part of previous discussions that we accept.”
