Real Madrid are reportedly preparing a record-breaking bid of at least €150 million for Paris Saint-Germain winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, should Florentino Perez win this weekend’s presidential election. Sources close to the club have indicated that the Georgian international is the “total Galactic” player Perez alluded to in a recent statement, dismissing links to players such as Jeremy Doku, Erling Haaland, Harry Kane, and Michael Olise.
Perez’s announcement of a potential blockbuster signing comes amid a fiercely contested presidential race, with rival Enrique Riquelme campaigning on promises of his own high-profile acquisitions. Perez has already secured an agreement with Jose Mourinho for a return to the Estadio Bernabeu and views a marquee signing as a further demonstration of his ambition. While defensive reinforcements in the form of Ibrahima Konate and Denzel Dumfries are expected, Perez is determined to make a significant statement in attack.
Kvaratskhelia has established himself as one of the world’s leading attackers since joining PSG from Napoli in January 2025, playing a key role in the club’s consecutive Champions League triumphs. His performances have elevated him to the highest echelon of European football, making him a prime target for Madrid. Talks have reportedly taken place, with confidence growing that the 25-year-old would be receptive to a move to the Spanish capital.
However, convincing PSG to sell presents a significant challenge, as the French champions have no financial need to part with one of their most influential players. Should Perez win the election, Madrid are expected to test PSG’s resolve with an offer exceeding any previous club record. The pursuit of Kvaratskhelia could also impact the future of Vinicius Junior, whose contract expires in 2027, with speculation suggesting Madrid may consider cashing in on the Brazilian if they secure another elite left-sided attacker.
With the presidential election looming, Perez’s plans for Kvaratskhelia represent a bold statement of intent. A successful bid would signal the start of a major rebuild under Mourinho, alongside the already agreed signings of Konate and Dumfries.
