Khvicha Kvaratskhelia's agent Mamuka Jugeli has revealed that the 22-year-old is a Real Madrid fan amid speculation over his future.
Kvaratskhelia was a relatively unknown talent when he joined Napoli last summer, but he has quickly established himself as a key player in Luciano Spalletti's side.
The Georgia international has scored 12 goals and contributed 15 assists across 26 competitive appearances this term.
Kvaratskhelia has helped his side establish a significant 18-point lead at the top of the Serie A table, leaving Napoli on the verge of their first league title in 33 years.
Having impressed since arriving in Naples, Kvaratskhelia is now attracting interest from across the continent, including from the reigning European champions Real Madrid.
With Los Blancos considering a potential move for the Georgian, the player's agent has revealed that his client is a Real Madrid fan.
Jugeli told Geo Team: "His father, Badri, and I are fans of Barcelona, but Kvara loves Real Madrid.
"He's a player who has what it takes to play at that level; he's good enough to play for any team in the world. If I saw him in the Barca shirt, I'd be very happy - but he's a Madridista."
Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain are also keeping tabs on Kvaratskhelia, who has a contract with the Italian giants until June 2027.
Although previous reports have suggested that the Serie A leaders were preparing to offer the winger a new deal to ward off interest, Jugeli has said that the club are in no hurry to agree an improved contract.
Jugeli added: "In January, I was with [Napoli] sporting director [Cristiano] Giuntoli and he told me there's no rush to renew his contract. We aren't in a rush, either.
"Khvicha likes everything about Naples and there's nothing more to it for now. If we decide something, Giuntoli will be the first to know. We had a very friendly chat and talked about other talents from Georgia."
Napoli director Cristiano Giuntoli recently insisted that the club are not prepared to sell one of their most prized assets.
Kvaratskhelia is expected to be involved when Napoli's former manager Maurizio Sarri brings his Lazio side to the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona for Friday's Serie A contest.
Spalletti's charges will be aiming to claim an eighth straight victory in all competitions, while they also have the chance to record a sixth consecutive clean sheet. body check tags ::
