Napoli sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli has spoken about the future of Arsenal -linked Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
90min previously reported that the Gunners are interested in the Georgia international, although he could cost up to £100m this summer following a stellar debut campaign in Italy - scoring 12 goals and providing a further 12 assists across all competitions. However, Giuntoli has claimed that the talented winger is not on the market this summer, admitting he doesn't know how much he is worth in this market.
“How much is he worth? He likes to talk about concrete things,” he told Sport Mediaset. “He’s not on the market at the moment, then I don’t know how much he’ll be worth.

"Time will tell what he’ll do in the future. He’s a great player and we hold on to him, then we’ll see what the future will say.”
This comes after Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis was coy when discussing Kvaratskhelia's future, although he refused to completely rule out an eventual departure from the Diego Maradona Stadium. "I am very good at making contracts," De Laurentiis told TNT Sports.
"So when they come to me, they are blocked, so keeping them here won’t be difficult. However, never say never. Sometimes there are offers you can’t refuse, so you never know.
"To me, we’ll see them shine for a long time."
