(Reuters) – Napoli winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has confirmed his exit from the club in a goodbye message posted on social media on Thursday with the Georgia international set to join French champions Paris St Germain.
Napoli coach Antonio Conte said on Saturday that Kvaratskhelia had asked to leave the Serie A club immediately.
“It’s hard for me, but it’s time to say goodbye,” Kvaratskhelia said in a video posted on Instagram.
“I spent an amazing time here, we shared a lot of memories together, experienced a lot of amazing emotions. Naples was my home, where I felt wonderful thanks to each of you.”
Kvaratskhelia signed for Napoli in 2022 and was named Serie A’s player of the season in the 2022-23 campaign after helping the club win their first Scudetto in 33 years with 12 goals and 13 assists in 34 games.
The 23-year-old’s Napoli contract ran until 2027.
