Paris St-Germain have signed Napoli striker Khvicha Kvaratskhelia on a permanent deal until June 2029.

The Georgian international, who had been linked with Liverpool and Chelsea, asked to leave Serie A leaders Napoli last week after failing to agree a contract extension.

Although no details of the fee have been released, reports suggest that French champions PSG paid 70 million euros (£59 million) plus add-ons for Kvaratskhelia.

"It's a dream to be here," said the 23-year-old winger. I've heard so many positive things about PSG.

"I feel immense pride in joining this great club and I'm really looking forward to wearing my new colours."

Kvaratskhelia, who was part of the Georgian team that reached the last 16 of Euro 2024, was nicknamed 'Kvaradona' by Napoli fans during their title-winning campaign, after the club's icon Diego Maradona.

He joined Napoli from Georgian side Dinamo Batumi in 2022 for £9 million and has made 107 appearances for the club, scoring 54 goals and providing 54 assists.

Kvaratskhelia is PSG's first signing of the January transfer window and becomes the first Georgian player in the club's history.

"Khvicha is one of the most exciting players in world football - a fantastic talent, but also a player who has courage and fights for the team above all else," the club said.

PSG are seven points clear of Marseille at the top of Ligue 1 and visit Lens on Saturday, before hosting Manchester City in the Champions League on Wednesday.
