Roma, Gasperini wants Kvernadze in January: a clause, a hefty commission and a threat from abroad

Giorgi Kvernadze is the surprise of the Serie A season, making a big impact in front of goal and already attracting interest from Italy’s top clubs. Roma are among them and are watching him with the coming months in mind. More precisely, they would like to bring him to Trigoria as early as January.

Mora, Pellegrini, Dybala and Soulé want the ball to feet rather than running into space. Gasperini wants a high-intensity wide player with the engine to attack space powerfully. Kvernadze fits the Roma manager's profile perfectly.

Born in 2003, he has started the season well and attracted interest from Premier League clubs including Everton: five goals and six assists in just 12 appearances. Roma know a deal in January would give them the best chance of beating the competition.

Kvernadze has the same agent as Kvaratskhelia, and that agent is demanding a hefty commission for the Georgian talent. A figure of between 6 and 10 million has been mentioned. Roma will have to negotiate with Jugeli to resolve the issue.

With the 2003-born player's deal expiring on 30 June 2028, Frosinone have begun contract renewal talks, aiming to remove the 4 million release clause. That will not be easy. The clause can only be activated in the summer, not in January.
