Conte: ‘Not let down by Kvaratskhelia, I thought I could convince him’

Antonio Conte clarified his recent comments about Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, stating he is not disappointed with the player or Napoli but rather with himself for failing to convince Kvaratskhelia to stay.

Conte acknowledged his initial belief that he could make a greater impact on the player's decision but admitted he was unable to change the situation.

He confirmed reports that Kvaratskhelia had wanted to leave since the summer and was still likely headed for a transfer, with Paris Saint-Germain being the most probable destination.

Despite this, Conte emphasized his pride in the team's resilience and focus, highlighting the strong group dynamic, even amid transfer rumors and player departures.
