Future Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim is reportedly considering a blockbuster move for Napoli winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who is also a target for Liverpool.

Amorim has been officially announced as Erik ten Hag’s successor and will take charge of the Red Devils after this month’s international break.

The 39-year-old has already started discussing his transfer plans with the Manchester United board and one of their priorities is to sign a new winger.

According CaughtOffside, Amorim wants to sign a “special talent” who will “light up Old Trafford” and has identified him Kvaratskelia as the main objective.

Napoli have reportedly put a £90million price tag on the Georgian international’s head, but that has not deterred Amorim, who “wants him to replace Manchester United flop Antony”.

KvaratskeliaThe 23-year-old is under contract with Napoli until 2027 and Antonio Conte’s side are keen to tie him down to a new long-term deal.

However, those negotiations are currently at a “deadlock” and that has given Manchester United confidence that they can reach a shock deal. Kvaratskhelia wants an affordable release clause included in his deal, something Napoli are not willing to accept.

Man Utd to rival Liverpool for Napoli star: report

Sources have revealed to TEAMtalk that Liverpool have a specific interest in Kvaratskhelia. The Reds are considering him as they plan the possible departure of Mohamed Salah.

Salah, 32, is out of contract at the end of the season and TEAMtalk sources say he is unlikely to sign an extension with Liverpool as Saudi Pro League clubs push to sign him.

Kvaratskhelia is a replacement option being considered. However, while Liverpool If there is interest, we understand that their top three forward targets as things stand are Borussia Dortmund’s Karim Adeyemi, Bayern Munich’s Leroy Sane and Real Sociedad’s Takefusa Kubo.

The trio would be cheaper than Kvaratskhelia, and Sané will be available on a free transfer next summer if he does not sign a new contract with Bayern.

But as Kvaratskhelia’s contract negotiations with Napoli drag on, more and more teams are likely to show interest in signing him in 2025, so it will be interesting to see how this story develops.

Kvaratskhelia joined Napoli in 2022 and has so far made 100 appearances for the Serie A side, scoring an impressive 30 goals and providing 28 assists in the process.

Man Utd round-up: Four Man Utd stars under threat / Sports trio in the crosshairs

Meanwhile, sources have revealed to TEAMtalk that Ruben Amorim has already informed the Man Utd board of four Red Devils stars that he is “not interested in” and would be happy to sell in January.

The quadruples are Antony, Casemiro, Christian Eriksen and Victor Lindelof. Eriksen and Lindelof are out of contract at the end of the season and will be allowed to leave on free transfers if no offers are made for them in January.

The Man Utd board agrees with Amorim that Antony and Casemiro’s performances do not reflect their huge salaries of £200,000 and £350,000 a week respectively.

The club are therefore willing to sell both players this winter for around £25m. We understand Amorim would like to sign Sporting CP star Marcus Edwards to replace Antony, who is linked with a move to former club Tottenham.

In addition to Edwards, sources have revealed to TEAMtalk that Amorim has requested Man Utd will inquire about the signing of Sporting CP stars Pedro ‘Pote’ Goncavles and Gonçalo Inácio.

With that in mind, we could see some of Sporting’s star players follow Amorim to the Premier League in the coming months.
