Napoli's sporting director, Giovanni Manna, clearly explained what Kvaratskhelia's blackmail of the blue club was.
“We were forced to sell him because we were blackmailed by the player or almost”. The danger aired by the player and his entourage was to create a very serious economic damage to Napoli.
