Barcelona’s plans to strengthen its left-wing position have suffered a setback with the recent news that Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, one of its main targets, has decided to renew his contract with Napoli until 2029, reports Fichajes.
This announcement puts an end to speculation linking the winger with a move to the Catalan club, which had been looking for a solid option for the left wing for next season.
Kvaratskhelia’s decision to stay in Italy is a significant boost for Napoli as it keeps one of its most important players under long-term contract.
For Barcelona, however, this move forces them to rethink their transfer strategy. The club, which has faced financial challenges in recent seasons, is still interested in adding a high-quality player to its attacking ranks.
Currently, Raphinha is the only natural left winger available, and with Ansu Fati battling recurring injuries, the need for a reliable option on that side is even more pressing.
Barcelona wants a left back

A key factor in these potential moves will be Barcelona’s ability to comply with La Liga’s financial regulations, especially the 1:1 spending rule, which will play a crucial role in shaping their transfer activity.
Now that Kvaratskhelia’s future appears assured in Italy, Barcelona will need to adapt quickly, review their alternatives and fine-tune their plans to remain competitive both in the transfer market and on the pitch.
