One of the true breakout stars of the 2022–2023 season, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia — affectionately nicknamed “Kvaradona” by the Napoli faithful — made an immediate and electrifying impact upon his arrival in Naples. Quick, skillful, and supremely technical, he embodies the archetype of the modern winger-playmaker: fearless in his dribbling, relentless in taking on defenders, and blessed with the kind of trickery that can tilt games in an instant.
Hailed as the greatest Georgian talent of his generation — and already among Europe’s finest — Kvaratskhelia’s rise has been anything but ordinary. He had already begun turning heads during his spell with Rubin Kazan, where he was named Russian Premier League Young Player of the Season. But when war forced him to return home and play for Dinamo Batumi, many wondered if his momentum would stall. Instead, it only sharpened his resolve.
By then, Europe’s elite were circling, with clubs like Juventus attempting to secure his signature. Ultimately, it was Napoli who acted decisively, and what followed was nothing short of transformative. In his debut Serie A campaign, Kvaratskhelia not only lit up Italian football with his dazzling skills but also played a central role in driving Napoli to the Scudetto — their first league title in over three decades. His efforts were rewarded with the Serie A Player of the Season award, cementing his place as the face of Napoli’s resurgence.
For a player still so young, the sky truly is the limit. With his unique blend of creativity, flair, and fearlessness, Kvaratskhelia has all the ingredients to carve his name among the world’s very best — and to ensure that “Kvaradona” becomes a name spoken far beyond Naples
