Man City 'looking at Napoli winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia' and other transfer rumours

Manchester City are reportedly looking at Napoli superstar Khvicha Kvaratskhelia as a target for the summer.

The 22-year-old Georgian winger has been enjoying one of the finest seasons of his career as the Naples club take the top flight of Italy by storm. So far this campaign, Kvaratskhelia has managed 12 goals and 15 assists in a mere 27 appearances and is proving to be one of the standout talents in Europe.

With such promising statistics so far, it is not surprising that Kvaratskhelia has reportedly caught the eye of Pep Guardiola. According to GiveMeSport, City are one of a number of top clubs who have taken a serious interest in the winger.

Speaking to the media outlet, CBS reporter Ben Jacobs outlined which teams are taking an interest in one of Napoli's top talents. He explained: "There's absolutely no guarantee that Victor Osimhen or Kvaratskhelia will end up leaving in the summer, but there will be demand, and Newcastle and Manchester City are two of the clubs in particular, along with others like Real Madrid and PSG, that are looking at Kvaratskhelia.

"It's obvious why because ultimately, he's had a standout season, scoring goals and getting assists for fun. He's scored 10 goals in Serie A in only 20 matches, and it's an incredible rise really."

Elsewhere, there has been further reports that Aymeric Laporte is pushing to leave the Blues at the end of the campaign. Some outlets claimed last week the RB Leipzig's Josko Gvardiol had been lined up by Guardiola as a replacement for Laporte who had become frustrated at his playing time.

Now, according to Mundo Deportivo, Laporte is pushing to move to Barcelona at the end of the season. It is claimed that the centre-back has already been in touch with the Catalan club to secure a deal.
