Kvaratskhelia and Osimhen, the duo of Maradona’s heir

They became the rightful heirs Diego Armando Maradona. Like ‘Fluff’, Victor osimhen and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia was able to make history in Naples and guide the Neapolitan team to achieving the title seems impossible, the first to come after the Argentine stage 33 years ago. Both are new idols of the ‘partenopei’ fans, delivered and rewarded with a season to frame.

Too much osimhen as Kvaratskhelia (Kvaradona, as fans call him) They formed an offensive tandem that was wildly unexpected, claims and becomes the object of desire of the most powerful club. Bids for them this summer could reach sky-high numbers, although Naples expect them to stay for another season.

Osimhen, record signing in Naples

Osimhen arrived in Naples in 2020 from Lille, as the most expensive signing made by the Italian team. owner, Aurelio DeLaurentiisreleased 50 million euros, plus another 10 in variables, in addition to the pass from goalkeeper Karnezis and three youngsters: Manzi, Palmieri and Liguori, all of them worth 20 more ‘kilos’.

At the age of 22, ‘Osi’ ended up in a team eager for new references, but a shoulder injury left him KO for a few months and stopped their adaptation. 10 goals in 30 games are the final balance of his first season as an ‘azzurri’.

chilling injury

He was even better in 2021/22 (18 goals in 32 appearances), although that course was also marked by a painful fractured cheekbone which forced him to undergo surgery and wear a protective mask that became one of his hallmarks.

As we said, this year has been the year of the assignment, bringing himself out in the scoring facet by scoring 26 goals in 33 games so far. His making a rhythm This course has been assimilated once in Erling Haaland at City, with a spectacular run from mid-October to almost the end of March with 23 goals in 22 games in Serie A and the Champions League.

Powerful, fast and with a winning mentality that permeates all his actions, Osimhen does not take the ball to lose and he has a spark similar to that shown by Samuel Eto’o in his best years. A great treasure for Napoli and a great excitement for clubs looking for a ‘killer’ of guarantees.

Kvaratskhelia, from the unknown star

For his part, Kvaradona was the big surprise of Napoli’s season. Last summer, the Italian club signed an unknown 21-year-old Georgian who caused a sensation in Diego Armando Maradona. 11.5 million was paid by the ‘partenopei’ box to acquire this undisputed footballer after his first year at the club.

‘Kvara’, left hand as Maradona, is the one who put the magic in Naples this season. His quality has surprised even the most knowledgeable, performing at a superb level with 14 goals and 16 assists in 37 games played this season.

But best of all is the partnership with Georgian forms osimhen. The understanding between the two of them is amazing. They look for each other, they look at each other and they want to scare each other out of opposing defenses. Kvaratskhelia with his terrifying drives, Osimhen with his deadly shots. They are the new idols of Naples and the heirs of Diego Armando Maradona. Almost nothing.
