PSG Open Urgent Contract Talks With Khvicha Kvaratskhelia
Paris Saint-Germain have opened urgent talks over a new contract for Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, aiming to reach an agreement within a month despite the Georgian winger already being tied to the club until 2029.
PSG contract situation
| Item | Detail | Context |
|---|---|---|
| Player | Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, 25 | PSG winger |
| Current deal | Runs to 2029 | Club still want an immediate renewal |
| Negotiation target | Within one month | PSG want talks settled before the Ballon d’Or ceremony next month |
| Proposed incentive | Major bonus | Would be triggered if Kvaratskhelia wins the Ballon d’Or |
The accelerated move is linked to next month’s Ballon d’Or ceremony, with Kvaratskhelia increasingly viewed as a serious contender for the individual award. PSG sporting director Luis Campos wants the club to secure revised terms before any potential victory reshapes the player’s financial expectations.
Paris are prepared to put a highly competitive package on the table now, including a sizeable bonus in the event that Kvaratskhelia collects the prize. Their concern is that negotiations could become far more expensive if they wait until after the ceremony and the forward arrives as a Ballon d’Or winner.
Moussa Sissoko, Kvaratskhelia’s new agent, would lead any discussions on the player’s side. PSG believe his wage demands could rise dramatically should the 25-year-old take football’s biggest individual honour before signing an extension.
Kvaratskhelia joined PSG from Napoli in January 2025 and has quickly become central to the French club’s plans. He played a decisive part in their European double, repeatedly delivering in high-level matches and strengthening his status among the game’s elite wide forwards.
Europe’s leading clubs have not made bids for a player PSG regard as untouchable, but the French champions accept that his growing importance requires a salary uplift.
What happens next
PSG want the deal completed within the next month, with the club determined to avoid another drawn-out renewal battle. Difficult negotiations over Ousmane Dembele’s future have reinforced that position.
There is no certainty that Kvaratskhelia and his representatives will accept PSG’s timetable. But the club hierarchy are intent on retaining control of the process after the long-running contract uncertainty that preceded Kylian Mbappe’s exit.
