It has been reported that Manchester United scouts attended Georgia’s 3-1 loss to Spain on Sunday in order to observe Napoli sensation Khvicha Kvaratskhelia up close.

Since joining Napoli in July 2022, the 22-year-old has accumulated 22 assists and 17 goals in 58 appearances. He was instrumental in the club’s Scudetto run last season. Kvaratskhelia scored his 15th goal in 28 appearances for Georgia during the Euro 2028 qualifying loss to Spain.

United representatives were reportedly present at the event, which suggests that Erik ten Hag may have been aware of him. Ten Hag might seek a replacement winger if Jadon Sancho’s dispute with the United manager persists, which could result in his irreversible departure by next summer.

United did not initially intend to strengthen in the wide man position, but that may alter in light of Sancho’s situation. Additionally, Newcastle, Manchester City, and Chelsea have been linked to Kvaratskhelia.

Nevertheless, according to the claim, Napoli will contend with Victor Osimhen, who is reportedly of interest to other clubs. The Italians might increase the asking price for Kvaratskhelia in an effort to deter potential suitors should he decide to depart. Given that the player’s contract extends to 2027, his services would not be readily available.

Sport Italia reports that Juventus is currently in discussion with Sancho regarding a loan agreement. The exiled attacker is anticipated to be leased out in January, and should the impasse with Ten Hag persist, he could be sold in the summer.

There are rumors that Juventus is prepared to contribute a portion of his salary, which would keep the club interested despite United adopting a sale-only policy. Despite numerous rumors, it is unsubstantiated that Sancho is interested in a transfer to Saudi Arabia.
