Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has no intention of leaving Paris Saint-Germain this summer, according to transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano, despite reported interest from Arsenal. The 25-year-old Georgian winger, who joined PSG from Napoli in January 2025, is said to be settled and happy at the French club, with his father recently affirming his desire to stay. Romano stated that PSG consider the player, who has a contract until 2029, to be "absolutely untouchable" and will not entertain any negotiations for his sale.
Arsenal have been linked with a move for a left-winger in the upcoming transfer window, with speculation surrounding the futures of current options Leandro Trossard and Gabriel Martinelli. A report from TEAMtalk suggested Arsenal would be willing to sell Martinelli for a fee in the region of £50 million. Napoli have been credited with an interest in Trossard, potentially creating an opening in Mikel Arteta's squad.
Kvaratskhelia, valued by his club at around €180 million, emerged as a potential target. The winger has scored 24 goals and provided 17 assists in 74 appearances for PSG since his high-profile move. In a recent update on his YouTube channel, Romano moved to quash the rumours, stating that the player has "no plans whatsoever to leave" after just over a year in Paris. He emphasized that Kvaratskhelia is very content with his situation and that the club sees him as a crucial part of their project.
While dismissing the immediate feasibility of the transfer, Romano acknowledged that Kvaratskhelia's profile would theoretically be an excellent fit for Arsenal. He described the Georgian international as a "fantastic winger" and suggested he could be the "ideal player" or "missing piece" for Arteta's side, based purely on footballing attributes. This opinion, however, is contrasted by the firm stance from both the player and PSG that a transfer is not on the agenda.
The situation underscores the challenges facing Arsenal as they look to strengthen their attacking options. With Kvaratskhelia seemingly off the table, the club's focus may need to shift to alternative targets. The coming months will likely provide more clarity on the futures of Martinelli and Trossard, which will in turn shape the Gunners' strategy in the market. For now, a major move for one of Europe's most exciting wingers appears to be a non-starter.
