Crystal Palace chance for exceptional €4m deal – €20m less than value

Crystal Palace can sign Frosinone winger Kvernadze for €4m via a release clause activating in June, €21m below his €25m market value.

Crystal Palace are tracking Giorgio Kvernadze, a 23-year-old Georgian winger at Frosinone who has impressed in his first Serie A season with three goals and five assists in 11 games. Kvernadze's contract contains a €4m release clause that becomes active in June, offering Palace a cut-price route to a player valued at around €25m in the market.

Napoli and AS Roma are also interested. Frosinone have attempted to tie him down with a new contract offer worth €1m per season—a significant raise from his current €400k—but negotiations have stalled. The club recognises the risk that without a renewal, suitors including Palace can activate the release clause in the summer window.

Kvernadze is represented by the same agents as Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and is seen as a prospect with significant upside, having starred in Frosinone's surprise Serie A campaign after helping them gain promotion from Serie B.
