According to, Liverpool is now up against Manchester City in the race to sign Napoli star Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
According to the report, the Reds and Sky Blues are both interested in signing the 22-year-old this summer.
Real Madrid are also said to be interested, but the player is said to be completely focused on Napoli at the moment.
However, the Georgian is expected to sign a new contract with the Serie A club in June, according to.
While Liverpool claims to be interested in the attacker, they admit it may be a difficult deal to complete given Napoli’s valuation of the youngster at around £90 million.
City will compete with Liverpool for Kvaratskhelia.
Kvaratskhelia has exploded onto the European football scene despite only arriving in Italy last summer.
The left-winger has scored four goals in 34 appearances this season.
He currently leads Napoli in, helping the team to the top of the as they battle for their first Scudetto in a decade.
Kvaratskhelia’s rise in Serie A has been nothing short of spectacular, as CBS pundit Jamie Carragher rightly noted.
As far as signings go, the 22-year-old would be a fantastic addition to Liverpool.
However, his asking price is likely to be much higher than the £90 million reported, making it unlikely that the Reds will be able to sign him.
