Speaking on the difficulty of replacing Salah, Heskey admitted the challenge but singled out the Georgian winger as his preferred successor. Kvaratskhelia, who moved from Napoli to PSG for €80m, has recorded 16 goals and 14 assists in 63 appearances since arriving in France.
Earlier reports indicated Liverpool submitted a €100m bid for the winger during Arne Slot’s first transfer window, though Napoli rejected the offer. Kvaratskhelia subsequently helped PSG eliminate Liverpool and scored in the Champions League final victory over Inter Milan.
