Giorgi Kvernadze (Georgian: გიორგი კვერნაძე; born 7 February 2003) is a Georgian professional footballer who plays as a left winger for Italian Serie B club Frosinone.
Career
Club
Kvernadze entered Saburtalo's academy at the age of nine: having come through the club's youth ranks, he played for the reserve team, in the national third tier, before making his first-team debut in the Erovnuli Liga at the age of 18.
On 26 February 2022, Kvernadze joined Telavi on a loan for the rest of the 2022 season. On 5 March 2022, he scored his first professional goal, in a 2–0 league win over Sioni Bolnisi. Throughout the campaign, Kvernadze helped the team preserve their place in the top tier, having scored three goals.
Shortly before the beginning of the 2023 season, Kvernadze signed for newly-promoted Liga 2 side Kolkheti Poti, before subsequently joining Dinamo Batumi on loan.
On 3 July 2023, Kvernadze officially joined Serie A side Frosinone on a season-long loan, with an option to buy. He made his official debut for the club on 11 August, coming on as a substitute for Giuseppe Caso in the second half of a 1–0 Coppa Italia win over Pisa. One week later, he also made his Serie A debut, coming on for Caso in the 67th minute of a 3–1 league defeat to Napoli. Overall, he featured in five league matches for the team, who fought hard to avoid relegation.
On 2 July 2024, Frosinone announced that the sides signed a new four-year deal.
International
After taking part in ten matches for U19s, Kvernadze became a regular player for the U21 team. He played in all ten games of Georgia's 2025 UEFA Championship qualifying campaign in addition to both play-offs against Croatia, in which his team prevailed on penalties. Kvernadze scored in a 2–0 away win against Gibraltar on 26 March 2024, followed by another goal in a 3–0 home victory over Moldova on 5 September.
