Liverpool Transfer News: Faouzi Ghoulam Close to New Contract, Latest Rumours

Liverpool target Faouzi Ghoulam is reportedly "very close" to signing a new contract with current club Napoli, but there continues to be a dispute about the value of his release clause.

According to Italian outlet Il Mattino (via Football Italia), the left-back's agent wants the buyout clause in Ghoulam's new contract to be set at just €18 million (£16 million), while Napoli do not want one at all.

Ghoulam's current deal with the Partenopei expires at the end of the 2017-18 season, and the Serie A outfit will be eager to tie him to new terms as soon as possible.
