Khvicha Kvaratskhelia's candidacy for the 2026 Ballon d'Or is gaining momentum. Several major figures in football have recently shown their support for the PSG forward, including:
- Michel Platini
- Toni Kroos
- Unai Emery
- Samir Nasri
- Luis Fernandez
An outstanding season in the Paris shirt
Having arrived in Paris in January 2025, the Georgian international quickly established himself as one of the club's key players. During the 2025-2026 season, he notably won the title of best player of the Champions League, with 10 goals and 6 assists. He also finished as PSG's top scorer in the competition.
His profile is particularly appealing due to his ability to make the difference in major matches. He is thus among the players being mentioned as serious contenders for the 2026 Ballon d'Or, the list of 30 nominees for which will be unveiled on September 8, ahead of the ceremony scheduled for October 26 in London.
Towards a contract extension
Meanwhile, PSG are reportedly working on a contract extension, currently valid until 2029. Discussions are said to be underway to extend his contract until 2030 or 2031.
