Liverpool, Man Utd pursue Kvaratskhelia

Liverpool and Manchester United are reportedly pursuing Tornike Kvaratskhelia, the 16-year-old younger brother of PSG star Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, with both clubs having made contact regarding a potential future transfer. The Dinamo Tbilisi winger, who turned 16 in February, is also attracting interest from other Premier League sides, including Chelsea and Tottenham, while Arsenal and Newcastle are monitoring his progress. Bayern Munich is said to be leading the race, having invited Kvaratskhelia to train at their academy during the summer. Under current rules, English clubs cannot sign him from Georgia until he turns 18, meaning any Premier League move remains a long-term prospect. Liverpool and Manchester United are laying groundwork for future transfer windows, with no immediate bid or agreement in place. Meanwhile, Liverpool is set to begin their Champions League campaign at home against Atletico Madrid on Wednesday, September 9. This marks Andoni Iraola's first European match as Liverpool manager. The team secured their first Premier League win under Iraola last Friday, defeating Ipswich Town 2-0 with a brace from Alexander Isak.
