Arsenal are exploring a potential deal for Paris Saint-Germain’s Khvicha Kvaratskhelia as part of a major squad reshuffle planned for the summer transfer window.
The camp surrounding the PSG star remains open to discussions, though the Qatari-owned club views him as a key pillar of their current project and would demand a substantial fee for any transfer.
Arsenal aim to generate funds through player sales this summer, potentially offloading a senior squad member to comply with the Premier League’s evolving Squad Cost Ratio financial regulations.
This strategy could pave the way for multiple incomings and outgoings, allowing targeted adjustments to Mikel Arteta’s squad. Particular focus may fall on bolstering the attack, where Kvaratskhelia stands out for his individual creativity.
The Georgian winger, who netted three goals against Chelsea in the Champions League last-16 clash, could elevate Arsenal’s overall squad quality with his flair and goal threat.

Challenges in Securing Kvaratskhelia Transfer
However, any move for the 25-year-old would prove highly complex, mirroring the difficulties of his previous switch from Napoli to PSG last year.
Kvaratskhelia recently expressed his delight at joining the European champions in an interview, emphasizing his ambition to become one of their all-time greats. Despite this, his representatives are open to evaluating other opportunities.
Insiders at PSG regard him as a near-unsellable asset, underscoring the hurdles Arsenal face in this pursuit.
Arteta’s Admiration for Julian Alvarez
Mikel Arteta also holds high regard for Atletico Madrid’s Julian Alvarez, though no deal appears feasible given the Spanish club’s €100m (£86.5m) valuation.
