Despite Salah remaining under contract until June 2027 and delivering elite performances, Heskey admitted the difficulty of finding a direct replacement. He argued that while Salah’s consistency is unmatched, Kvaratskhelia’s creativity and record at Napoli make him the ideal alternative.
Kvaratskhelia, who joined PSG for €80m, previously rejected a €100m bid from Liverpool before the move to France. The Georgia international further cemented his case by scoring in PSG’s Champions League final victory over Liverpool.
