Sat Jan 25 19:20:00 UTC 2025: ## Georgian Trio Set to Reign in Ligue 1 as Kvaratskhelia Joins PSG

**Paris, France** – The transfer of Georgian winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia to Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) has sent ripples through the football world, but for one player, it’s less a surprise and more a reunion. Nolan Roux, a fellow Georgian international currently playing in France, revealed his close personal relationship with Kvaratskhelia, describing him as a “brother” and even godfather to his son.

Roux, who has known Kvaratskhelia since they were both 10 years old and played together at various clubs including Dinamo Tbilisi, Rubin Kazan, and Dinamo Batumi, expressed his excitement about the three Georgian players now in France’s Ligue 1 (including Georges Mikautadze at Lyon). “We’re even closer now,” Roux stated. “Our families are close too.”

Roux lauded Kvaratskhelia’s professional approach and exceptional talent, calling him “one of the best left wingers in the world.” He credits Kvaratskhelia’s significant contribution to Napoli’s Serie A title win last year and is confident he will quickly adapt to Ligue 1. “He dreamed of this,” Roux said about Kvaratskhelia’s PSG move.

While their off-field bond is strong – often involving PlayStation 4 battles (which Roux claims to always win) – their professional relationship will be put to the test on the pitch. The pair have only faced each other once before, a match Roux’s team lost 3-0. He anticipates a fierce competition but emphasizes that their friendship will be put aside during matches.

Kvaratskhelia’s arrival adds a unique profile to PSG’s offensive line, promising an exciting new dynamic to the French league. The upcoming match between Roux’s team and PSG is highly anticipated, marking a reunion and a rivalry between two close friends on the football field.
