Manchester United scouted Khvicha Kvaratskhelia at the Empoli vs Napoli match. The Georgian player's contract expires in 2027, with renewal talks stalled since a meeting with De Laurentiis. Kvaratskhelia's decisive penalty might have influenced United's interest. He earns 1.8 million euros but demands around 8 million, a challenge for non-top-tier clubs. A 100 million euro release clause was rejected last summer when he was deemed untransferable by Antonio Conte.
