Badri Kvaratskhelia Shuts Down Exit Talk: “Khvicha Is Happy in Paris”
The transfer rumour mill has been spinning furiously around Khvicha Kvaratskhelia in recent weeks, with Arsenal and Liverpool among the Premier League clubs reportedly circling the PSG winger. But his father and close advisor, Badri Kvaratskhelia, has moved swiftly to pour cold water on the speculation — delivering a clear and composed message: his son is going nowhere.
Speaking to Georgian outlet Kviris Palitra, Badri was direct: “Khvicha leaving PSG? He’s not thinking about that. He’s happy in Paris, where he is highly valued and respected.” He went on to add, “If PSG no longer wishes to continue the cooperation, we will consider options. But for now, this is not being discussed.”
The 25-year-old joined PSG from Napoli in January 2025 for a fee of around €80 million, and despite fierce competition for places in the forward line, he wasted no time establishing himself as one of the team’s most important players. In a year and a half at the Parc des Princes, he has already racked up 74 appearances, scoring 24 goals and registering 17 assists — numbers that have understandably attracted admiring glances from across Europe.
Badri’s comments carry significant weight because they reflect not just family sentiment, but an official position from the player’s camp. Transfer insider Fabrizio Romano confirmed the stance, stating that Kvaratskhelia has no plans to change clubs and that the father’s interview amounted to an official declaration of intent.
PSG’s position has also been described as “hardline,” with the club viewing him as a jewel of their current project — and it is easy to see why. Among his many highlights, Kvaratskhelia scored in last season’s Champions League final as PSG thrashed Inter Milan 5-0, cementing his status as a big-game performer.
The timing of the transfer noise is particularly notable, as it comes with PSG preparing for a Champions League semi-final against Bayern Munich. For Kvaratskhelia and his family, trophies and stability clearly matter more than a new adventure — at least for now.
