Liverpool are monitoring developments with Napoli winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who is the subject of a proposal from Paris Saint-Germain

Kvaratskhelia, 23, has become one of the hottest attackers in Europe since joining Napoli from Georgian outfit Dinamo Batumi in 2022 for €10million (£8.4m). 

Chelsea and Manchester United are also admirers of the 23-year-old star. 

Napoli themselves hold an interest in Liverpool's Federico Chiesa but have yet to make an approach.

Meanwhile, Brighton and Borussia Dortmund are among the clubs keen on Liverpool's Harvey Elliott.

Kvaratskhelia helped guide the Italian giants to the Serie A title in 2022-23 in what was their first domestic triumph since the heady days of Diego Maradona in the 1980s.

But, there has been limited progress regarding a new deal and he could be sold this month

The Georgian, who previously played for the likes of Rubin Kazan, Lokomotiv Moscow and Dinamo Tbilisi, is under contract in Naples until the summer of 2027.

There has been a lack of progress between Napoli and Kvaratskhelia over the superstar's new contract.

The Reds would face stiff competition but could make a move for Kvaratskhelia if he is made available this month.

It is believed that while Arne Slot's side are not specifically targeting a player of Kvaratskhelia's profile, they do admire the 23-year-old, with the Reds willing to be ready to pounce if an opportunity arises.

Nevertheless, any move would potentially be dependent on a big-name departure from the club this month.   

Liverpool are well-stocked in attacking areas, with Luis Diaz, Cody Gakpo, Diogo Jota and Darwin Nunez all able to play on the left - which is where Kvaratskhelia has previously done his best work from.

This is without mentioning right-sided attackers Mohamed Salah and Chiesa.

Kvaratskhelia has scored five goals and added three assists in 19 games this season.

Napoli, who are coached by Antonio Conte, currently sit top of Serie A at the halfway stage of the season.

They return to action on Sunday when they host Hellas Verona.

Slot is hunting down a wealth of silverware during his debut season at Anfield, with the Reds top of the Premier League table and Champions League group phase, while also still in both domestic cups.

The Dutchman's Carabao Cup hopes to a hit on Wednesday however as his Liverpool side were beaten 1-0 by Tottenham in the first leg of their semi-final - and must overturn the deficit at Anfield next month.
