Liverpool are interested in signing the 23-year-old superstar in the January transfer window, according to an update from reliable reporter David Ornstein, and could now use the current player as part of the deal.
Liverpool transfer news
The Reds have had a slight wobble in recent days, drawing 2-2 at home to Manchester United in the Premier League and then lost 1-0 away to Tottenham in the first leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final.
There’s certainly no need to panic, but fans wouldn’t be averse to the idea of some new faces coming in this month, to bolster a squad that might be feeling a bit depleted. Liverpool are being linked with a move for the Bayern Munich legend Joshua Kimmichwho is out of contract at the end of the season, as his club expects to potentially get some cash for his services in January.
Another Bayern player, Leroy Sanealso mentioned as a possible option for the Reds, he should Arne Slott you want to add even more quality in wide areas. However, he turns 29 this weekend, so he wouldn’t be a long-term addition, like Kimmich is for that matter.
Darwin Nunez continues to flatter deception in a Liverpool shirt, and a summer exit is not ruled out, and the Napoli striker Victor Osimhen he was supported to enter as his replacement. The Nigerian is currently on loan at Galatasaray.
Liverpool could sell the player to sign Kvaratskhelia
Writing on X on Thursday night, Ornstein made the claim Liverpool are interested in signing Napoli superstar Khvich Kvaratskhelia in Januaryif the opportunity arises to nab him amid PSG’s race to secure his signature.
Now, TEAMtalk report new developments The Reds are willing to offer Federico Chiesa as part of the deal to sign the Georgian superstar, following a disappointing start to his career at Anfield. The Merseysiders are reluctant to pay as much as £67m, so the Italian would be used to reduce that figure.
The 23-year-old Georgian could be an incredible signing for the Reds, given that he is one of Europe’s most devastating wide players in his time, creating chaos with his dribbling brilliance and end product – he is 59 goals in 107 appearances for Naples.
Kvaratskhelia has terrorized Liverpool in the past, assisting against them in a 4-1 win in the 2022/23 Champions League, and Jurgen Klopp said of him: “He’s got speed, he’s bold, he goes inside, he can go outside, that’s why it’s always very difficult.
“A good player and I thought Trent played a really good game against him, he was really on fire, he wasn’t frustrated by one or two situations where he was second best, he stayed in the game and I liked Trent’s game tonight.”
Admittedly, some may feel that another left winger is not a priority for Liverpool, with Cody Gakpa and Luis Diaz both great options, but you don’t miss the chance to sign such a special player if it presents itself.

Not only that, but if Nunez does go, Diaz could be used to move forward centrally as he has done at times this season, allowing Kvaratskhelia to compete for minutes against Gakpo. The idea of him in a Reds shirt is delicious and it will be fascinating to see if anything develops.
As regards Chiesa, on £150k a week at Anfieldhe needs to move quickly if he is to stay at Liverpool beyond the summer, having not started a single Premier League game this season.
