Real Madrid have been linked with some of the most highly rated talents in football in recent times. One of them is Jude Bellingham, who is believed to be the club’s top priority for the upcoming summer transfer window. But it will not be easy to sign him. And there have been some suggestions that Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is their plan B in case a move for the Borussia Dortmund midfielder does not work out.
It was just last summer that Kvaratskhelia joined Napoli. But he has taken Italian and European football completely by storm since then.
Kvaratskhelia has been one of the biggest reasons why Napoli are running away with the Serie A. And with the football that they are playing right now, they are considered as one of the top contenders to win the Champions League as well, something that would have been absolutely unthinkable at the start of the campaign.
Unsurprisingly, Real Madrid have been linked with him. And Kvaratskhelia has named a Los Blancos legend as his idol.

In a video clip tweeted out by Geo Team, Kvaratskhelia revealed that his football idol is Guti. He also told a story of buying a white jersey as a child and writing the number 14 on the back.
Someone like Kvaratskhelia could be a great addition for Real Madrid. And by now, it is no secret that he was a fan of the club growing up.
According to stats from Transfermarkt, Kvaratskhelia has scored 12 goals and provided 15 assists in 27 appearances for Napoli across all competitions this season.
It is expected to take a transfer close to, if not beyond, €100 million to sign Kvaratskhelia from Napoli in the summer. Although, there have been rumours that the club are not even considering letting him go at this point.
