European giants rejected chance to sign Khvicha Kvaratskhelia for £20m this summer

Napoli winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has been on fire since his start to life with the Azzurri. The youngster made the move from Dinamo Batumi this summer, and has scored eight goals, while providing 10 assists in 17 appearances across all competitions. 

His agent, Christian Emile, recently gave an interview with renowned transfer insider Fabrizio Romano. And he revealed that his client was offered to several top European clubs alongside Napoli, all of whom rejected the chance to sign him. 

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia’s agent reveals big clubs rejected chance to sign him 

“All those clubs you mentioned were interested in Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, more so the clubs you heard in the media in Germany, England and Italy. This was true,” Emile said 

“They were all interested in him. Eventually when his name came about and we started proposing him more and more, people consider quality. Clubs saw the quality. 

“However, there’s a difference between understanding the quality and putting the money down. At that time, Rubin [Kazan] were asking [for] £20 million. Now everyone can say he’s worth much more than that, even at that time he had been playing senior football for three years.” 

Emile also talked about the future price tag that Napoli would ask for if he were to join a bigger club. 

“You know what’s crazy, he’s done what he’s been doing in Russia and Europe for the past couple of years,” Emile told Fabrizio Romano’s YouTube channel.

“He’s come to Napoli, he’s been brilliant, and people are talking about 100m euros.

“For me, if he continues to perform like this till the end of the season and next season, because there’s a zero per cent chance they sell him [in January]. He will reach 100m euros for sure.” 

ICC T20 World Cup: Dinesh Karthik and Ashwin will not be a part of T20s anymore

0

Dinesh Karthik and Ravichandran Ashwin have been significant parts of the Indian squad. However, BCCI decided to not include these two players in T20I matches anymore. Both of them have not been included in the New Zealand tour as well, though the Selection Committee chairman Chetan Sharma stated it was due to workload management.

The T20 WC will be their last time in this format after which India will be preparing for the T20 World Cup.

“It’s a cycle. Both Ashwin and Karthik have been excellent for India. But we have to move on. Karthik and Ashwin are not getting any younger and we have to keep the 2024 WC in mind. There are a lot of youngsters coming up through the IPL and domestic cricket and we have to reward them as well. Ashwin will continue to play crucial role in Test. For Karthik since he plays just one format, it’s little difficult to continue with him” – A BCCI official said

Chetan Sharma hasn’t yet revealed te transition plan. He confirmed that Dinesh Karthik was rested for workload management, although he has been a part of only 27 matches and faced 198 deliveries.

“The World Cup is going to finish in some days and so we need to decide whom to rest or not. Karthik has been performing and he is available to us. But this time we just thought of trying a different set of players after the World Cup,” Sharma said

Ashwin had been previously informed that he wasn’t in the T20I plans. Indian skipper Rohit Sharma insisted the selectors include Ashwin T20s. Previously, he was dropped for 8 months and returned to the squad before Asia Cup.

Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli will be focusing on the ODIs since the ICC World Cup will take place in 2024. However, they’ll continue to play for T20Is.

Leonardo Campana expected to join Inter Miami permanently for $2.7m

0

MLS club Inter Miami are expected to sign Leonardo Campana on a permanent deal in the coming days. He has been on loan in the MLS since last year’s January, and has had a very impressive time in America. 

Now, there are conversations surrounding him making his move from Wolves permanent. According to several reports, he is expected to be the young designated player for Inter Miami with a buy clause worth $2.7 million in place. 

Leonardo Campana to join Inter Miami permanently 

The striker scored 13 goals in 28 appearances since joining the club on loan, which is a good return. There were also talks that he could return to Wolves amidst their troubles in attack. However, there are doubts as to whether he will be able to perform at the level required in the Premier League. 

The 22-year-old was signed in 2020 by Wolves on a three-year deal. However, he was loaned out to Farmalicao and Grasshopper shortly after before moving to Inter Miami.

And it seems like Leonardo Campana will be leaving without ever wearing the club’s shirt in a competitive match. 

Inter Miami are also increasingly confident of signing Lionel Messi on a free transfer after the 2022 World Cup, with an agreement expected soon.
