Manchester City manager Josep Guardiola has a keen interest in Napoli Fawzi Gulam`s defender. The specialist was impressed by the presentation of the Algerian in the clash between the two teams in the Champions League (2: 1). Citizens are even willing to bid for him during the winter break, especially after the serious injury of his left-back titan, Benjamin Mendi.

Goulam has a contract with Napoli only until the end of the season. So in theory he can sign with another team in the winter, with the treaty coming into force next summer. Napoli is trying to convince him to re-sign, but for now the Algerian is pulling. Both sides have agreed to a serious increase in the player`s salary, but they still can not agree on the buy-out clause that will be set in the contract. Goulam wants her to be 25 million euros, while Napoli`s bosses insist on raising her to 35-40 million.

Interest in Gulam is from several more teams. He also falls into the field of Juventus, as Torinese also closely monitors the player`s situation and is ready to bid if it is placed on the market.
