Nevertheless, as it turns out, Liverpool did actually try and make a big signing ahead of the 2024/25 campaign; none other than PSG superstar Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. Having become unsettled during contract talks with Napoli, Kvaratskhelia left the Italian club to join PSG last January.

Watching Khvicha Kvaraskhelia dazzle the way he did during Paris Saint-Germain’s eventual 1-0 defeat against Liverpool would have been a sad sight for the visiting supporters at the Parc des Princes. Liverpool were keen on signing Kvaratskhelia in January, who eventually left Napoli to sign for PSG.
