Currently playing for Dinamo Tbilisi, Kharebashvili has amassed 28 senior appearances despite only celebrating his 16th birthday last September. His meteoric progress has not gone unnoticed, with elite clubs across Europe identifying him as a future star.
According to Mundo Deportivo, Liverpool are now monitoring his situation as they look to secure long-term reinforcements at left-back. With Andrew Robertson turning 31 this month and Konstantinos Tsimikas largely serving as a squad player, the Reds are believed to be planning for the future in that position.
However, any potential move will not materialise immediately. Due to regulations preventing Georgian players from transferring abroad before the age of 18, Kharebashvili is unable to leave his homeland until at least September 2026. Despite this restriction, clubs are permitted to agree deals in advance, and the Reds are not the only ones positioning themselves for a future bid.
Barcelona and Real Madrid have already taken steps to assess the teenager's potential, with scouts reportedly tracking him as early as last November. With so many clubs in the race, the youngster's future remains uncertain.
