Liverpool warned as Pep eyes Serie A bargain to replace Mendy
- Kaustubh Pandey
The injury to Mendy has left Guardiola without a proper left-back and the former Barcelona boss has been forced to make do with playing central midfielder Fabian Delph at left-back and a need is being felt to bring in a proper left-back in this winter.
It is believed that the first bit of contact was made when City played Napoli earlier this week in their 2-1 win over Maurizio Sarri’s men in the Champions League. And the men in Blue are willing to offer a fee in the region of 5 million euros.
The fact that Ghoulam’s current contract at the club ends next summer would make Napoli fear that they don’t lose their player on a free. And they’d be happy to see City hand them 5 million to acquire their left-back’s services before his contract expires.
Liverpool are also interested in acquiring the services of the Algerian.
