Nukri Revishvili, the representative for Khvichi Kvaratskhelia, spoke about Rubin Kazan’s stance on profit from selling the star to Napoli. The remarks were relayed by Sports24. Revishvili underscored a belief that relationships and trust can outweigh immediate financial gains, highlighting that a deal worth tens of millions today may not secure long-term value if the broader bond between clubs and players frays.
“There is more to life than money. A relationship is worth more than millions. This is probably the case. People trust each other, they respect each other. Today you will earn by selling Kvaratskhelia for 20 million. And tomorrow you will get nothing. This is life. Also SVO had an impact”, the representative explained. The sentiment points to a broader view that partnerships and mutual respect often create enduring value beyond a single transfer. (Source: Sports24)
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia joined Napoli from Dinamo Batumi in July 2022. In March, he departed Rubin Kazan to join the Georgian national team for a training camp and did not return to Rubin. Rubin Kazan subsequently announced that the contract with the player had been suspended. Throughout the period, the transfer and its fallout were closely watched by fans and analysts who track player movement across major leagues.
In the 2022–2023 season, Napoli captured the Italian league title, ending a 33-year wait. Kvaratskhelia delivered a standout campaign, recording 12 goals and 10 assists in 34 appearances, emerging as the club’s second-highest scorer and a pivotal contributor to the title run. His performances solidified his status as a key asset in Napoli’s attacking line, drawing praise for his creativity, pace, and goal threat.
Earlier remarks from Revishvili had suggested that Kvaratskhelia’s rise was not primarily associated with former Rubin Kazan head coach Leonid Slutsky, but rather with the influence of former Lokomotiv coach Yuri Semin, who had helped shape the player’s development in his formative years. This framing highlights how different coaches and mentoring figures can influence a rising talent’s trajectory and recognition on the international stage.
