<p>Kvaratskhelia rose to global prominence in 2022 following his €13.3 million move from Georgian side Dinamo Batumi to Napoli. </p>
<p>He quickly formed a lethal partnership with Osimhen, spearheading the club’s charge to its first Serie A title in nearly 40 years.</p>

<p>His stellar performances eventually earned him an €80 million move to PSG in January 2025. Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis later revealed he had rejected a staggering €180 million joint bid from Les Parisiens for both Kvaratskhelia and Osimhen just six months prior.</p>
<p>So far, Kvaratskhelia’s move to the French capital has been a resounding success. Last season, his brilliance on the left flank was instrumental in PSG’s Champions League triumph. </p>
<p>He has maintained that form this season, contributing 17 goals and nine assists in 39 appearances. Most recently, he netted a brace in PSG’s thrilling 5-4 victory over Bayern Munich in the first leg of their Champions League semifinal.</p>

<p>In a recent interview, Osimhen opened up about his close bond with the Georgian international. He highlighted the 25-year-old’s character and technical quality, insisting that the winger has the potential to be crowned the best player in the world.</p>
<blockquote class=”wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow”>
<p>”Kvara is one of the best players I’ve played with. He’s such an amazing player and a top guy,” Osimhen told <a href=”https://youtu.be/_E4JYkZMZ5M?si=kB3Cyys3-BHI5QXg”>Onah Kosisochukwu.</a></p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote class=”wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow”>
<p>“I mean, he’s dressing room friendly… on the pitch and off the pitch, he’s just that guy.</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote class=”wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow”>
<p>”He’s an amazing person. Even when he first arrived in Naples, I used to say ‘Inshallah,’ in the near future, he can win the Ballon d’Or. He really can do that. </p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote class=”wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow”>
<p>“Even since he moved to Paris, we’ve stayed in contact. We reach out to each other, and I always congratulate him on his accomplishments, and vice versa.</p>

<blockquote class=”wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow”>
<p>”He is one of the best wingers in the world right now—I don’t think anyone would argue with that. I wish him the very best.”</p>

<p>While both players are on track to secure domestic league titles this season, Kvaratskhelia has the chance to go a step further by defending the Champions League trophy. </p>
<p>However, with Ousmane Dembele often regarded as the poster boy for Les Parisiens, Kvaratskhelia may face stiff internal competition for the top individual honors.</p>
