Although the transfer was a blow to the team, Napoli still managed to win the Serie A title at the end of the season.

In an interview, De Laurentiis explained that he had to sell Kvaratskhelia due to pressure from the player's agent, Mamuka Jugeli.

De Laurentiis stated that the team had already begun negotiations to renew Kvaratskhelia's contract and increase his salary, but Jugeli had other plans.

The agent wanted a huge commission from another club and a significant salary increase for the player.

De Laurentiis revealed that PSG had offered over €200 million for the package deal of Kvaratskhelia and Victor Osimhen, but he chose not to sell due to a promise he made to former coach Antonio Conte.
