Juventus great Gigi Buffon has no doubts about the quality of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.

Buffon says the Napoli star has the potential to sit alongside today's future greats.

Speaking a book presentation on Kvaratskhelia, Buffon said: “It's situations, often historical ones, that make one win it or at least arrive among the candidates.

"Kvara is someone who as a talent, at a time when people like Messi, Ronaldo and Neymar – real cannibals – have stopped, can play with Haaland, Mbappe and the others.

Buffon also touched on Napoli coach Rudi Garcia.

“I have experienced the locker room a lot. If you don't know first-hand what is being created, how the coach is working, how the players are reacting, you can't say it's his fault.

“I have known since July what Napoli need, but I don't live in that situation."
