Exclusive: Juve and Liverpool set to miss out as Napoli, injured defender near renewal
- Matthew Klimberg
Calciomercato.com has exclusively learned that Ghoulam is very close to a renewal. Only some details and language approvals stand in the way of the mutual signatures between club and player.
The injury, and now imminent renewal throw a wrench into Liverpool and Juventus’ plans. The Bianconeri had thought long and hard about bringing Ghoulam to Allianz Stadium in 2018. The main source of debate was whether to pay Napoli for his services in January, or wait for his contract to expire at the end of June.
Now, it appears, Juventus will have to look in another direction to fortify their wingback situation.
