Paris Saint-Germain have completed the acquisition of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia from Napoli for a reported fee of €70 million.
Kvaratskhelia, who submitted a transfer request last week, has put pen to paper on a four-and-a-half-year contract at the Parc des Princes, where he will wear the number 7 shirt for Luis Enrique's side.
The Georgian international played a key role as Napoli secured their third ever Scudetto in the 2022-2023 season, scoring 12 goals and also providing 10 assists.
After a disappointing 2023/2024 season, which saw the Partenopei finish 10th, the forward has registered eight goals (five goals, three assists) in Serie A this season, with Antonio Conte's side topping the table after 20 games.
Kvaratskhelia will certainly boost Ligue 1 leaders PSG's attacking threat as they look for a fourth consecutive league title.

“It's a dream to be here. I've heard a lot of positive things about Paris Saint-Germain,” Kvaratskhelia said.
“I am extremely proud to be joining this great club and I am very much looking forward to wearing my new colors.
“I want to experience new challenges by coming here to Paris, new dreams, new goals. I want to improve so that I can help the team as much as possible and do my best.”
Kvaratskhelia has been involved in 47 goals in Serie A (28 goals, 19 assists) since his competitive debut in 2022, with only four more goals registered in that time.
Meanwhile, no player has attempted (482) or completed (196) more dribbles than the 23-year-old.
Only Rafael Leao (21) has provided more assists and Federico Dimarco (151) created more chances (145) than him.
