Liverpool is preparing a big offer for the “magnificent” ace

Liverpool strolled into the next round of the FA Cup this weekend with a routine 4-0 win over League Two side Accrington Stanley.

While Jurgen Klopp usually selected the reserves and youngsters on the pitch for less important matches like these, Arne Slott has fielded some of its stars for this Cup tie, with Diogo Jota scoring the day after being named from the start, while Dominik Szoboszlai and Trent Alexander-Arnold were freed from the off before being substituted early on.

It could be that the Dutchman wants to taste success in this traditional competition as much as he craves the moment Premier League title, with new recruits this January sure to boost his squad’s ability to achieve both goals.

Liverpool is preparing a big offer for a new striker

According to recent reports from Spain, Liverpool are looking to bolster their attack, with a major bid being considered for Georgian superstar Khvich Kvaratskheli.

The Reds are said to be preparing a mammoth £97.5m bid for the Napoli man – which would combine a cash payment and a player swap. The player is also wanted by Manchester United and Chelsea from the Premier League, with Paris St. Germain, who is getting closer to the player’s services.

Indeed, despite the Reds’ interest, the French side look the closest to doing a deal with Fabrizio Romano suggests that Kvaratskhelia negotiated personal terms with the club. Napoli are now in dialogue with PSG as they aim to seal the deal.

However, at the 11th hour, the 23-year-old could head to Anfield if a more lucrative move is on the table.

What Kvaratskhelia could offer Liverpool

If that attack goes ahead, it could go down as Liverpool’s best work in a usually quiet winter since Virgil Van Dijk entered the building in 2018, with Kvaratskhelia making an already fearsome attack even more potent.

That’s quite the statement, given how crucial Van Dijk has been at the heart of the defense since his arrival all those years ago, with significant 296 performances now under his tutelage at Anfield.

Kvaratskhelia will hope to continue to be integral if he moves to England instead of France, with his record goals and assists in Serie A making him a likely candidate to take Cody Gakpo’s place on the left wing if the signing becomes official.

The former Rubina Kazan ace has set the world on fire in Italy for three consecutive seasons, with two goal-and-assist campaigns before scoring eight goals in Serie A this time around, leading to Jamie Carragher announcing the striker as “magnificent” until 2022.

Those golden contributions of this campaign came despite the Georgian struggling with some shots due to premature injuries and Gakpo just managing another league goal from another appearance in Sloto’s ranks.

His towering presence on the pitch for Napoli could also give Liverpool another Mohamed Salah-esque figure, with Kvaratskhelia confident enough – like the prominent Egyptian – to slide forward and score well, as seen in his sublime strike against Milan in October.

In the long term, he could be the heir to the 32-year-old’s throne, with his initial signing giving Liverpool another unlikely striker to help in their current Premier League title hunt, before potentially becoming a leading man.

At this point, it looks like the Slots people will pick up the coveted top honors this May.

But if Kvaratskhelia joins and plays a starring role, the Reds could return home in even more style to confirm the fact that they are the top dogs in English football.
