Liverpool have been told that they could make a move for Napoli star Khvicha Kvaratskhelia in the future.
The Reds have already come up against the Georgia international this season in the Champions League on a couple of occasions. Liverpool were on the receiving end of a 4-1 defeat in the group match in Naples in September, while the winger shone again at Anfield in the return fixture.
Kvaratskhelia provided the assist for Giovanni Simeone at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, and has become a fan favourite for the Italian club.

The 21-year-old arrived from Georgian club Dinamo Batumi in the summer, and is now being tipped to move to Liverpool by a former player. Lasha Salukvadze, who earned 38 caps for Georgia in his career, believes his compatriot could make a sign for the Reds or Real Madrid in the future.
“Khvicha had an incredible start to the season at Napoli,” Salukvadze told MetaRatings .
“Kvaratskhelia scores in almost every match for both the national team and his club. I think that he can compete for the title of top scorer in both Serie A and the Champions League this year.
“I don’t know if Khvicha will be able to play at this level all season. Maybe he will have a recession. But, God forbid, Kvaratskhelia will not stop and will only progress.”
Salukvadze added: “Can Khvicha move to Real Madrid next season? Ancelotti said that he looked at Kvaratskhelia when he was at Napoli, so anything is possible.
“It is possible that both Real Madrid and Liverpool will make offers for Kvicha. But I think it’s too early for him to move. Napoli are a very good team. He needs to play in Naples for a year or two.”
