The Georgian winger has emerged as one of the outstanding performers in the club's season, and Frosinone are keen to protect his value before the clause becomes a possible route out.
Kvernadze, 23, has made a significant impression since establishing himself in the team, registering five goals and six assists in 12 appearances across Serie A and the Coppa Italia. His contribution has inevitably attracted attention ahead of the January transfer window, with several clubs monitoring his situation.
Roma are currently the most strongly linked with the winger, as they look to strengthen their attacking options. Napoli have also been mentioned, although their interest is understood to be relatively limited at this stage.
Frosinone are aware that Kvernadze's performances could generate considerable competition for his signature. Their valuation is understood to exceed €20 million, and could reach €25 million, reflecting his importance to the team and his potential for further development.
However, the club face a potentially significant complication in his existing contract. Kvernadze is currently tied to Frosinone until June 2028, but his agreement includes a release clause of approximately €4 million.
That figure is considerably below the valuation Frosinone place on the player. There is, though, an important qualification: the clause does not become valid until July, meaning it cannot be activated during the January transfer window.
That gives Frosinone several months to negotiate an improved agreement and remove the threat of a relatively inexpensive departure next summer.
The club are understood to have offered Kvernadze a new contract worth €1 million net per season, a substantial increase on his current salary of approximately €200,000. The proposed terms underline how highly Frosinone regard the winger and their determination to secure his future.
The timing is important. If the two parties cannot reach an agreement before July, interested clubs could potentially have the opportunity to sign him for a fee far below his current market valuation.
For now, Frosinone retain control of the situation during the winter window and can demand a transfer fee that reflects their assessment of his performances. Roma's interest appears more substantial than Napoli's, but the possibility of further approaches remains as Kvernadze continues to attract attention.
The immediate priority for Frosinone is therefore not simply to resist January offers. It is to agree a new contract before the summer clause becomes active and risk losing one of their most valuable players for a fraction of his potential transfer value.
