# Liverpool enquire about Faouzi Ghoulam’s availability

Liverpool could use Napoli’s interest in Alberto Moreno to negotiate a deal for left-back Faouzi Ghoulam, according to the [Mail](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-4628928/Liverpool-keen-Napoli-s-Faouzi-Ghoulam.html).

The Reds have reportedly rejected an £11million bid from the Italian club for the Spaniard, who has also attracted interest from both Milan clubs.

Jurgen Klopp is, though, in the market for a new left-back after fielding James Milner in the role last season as Moreno fell out of favour.

Ghoulam, Napoli’s current left-back, is a potential option after an impressive 2016/17 campaign, and the offer for Moreno has opened the door.

The Algerian contributed 10 assists in 38 appearances last term as Napoli finished third in Serie A and has attracted interest from across the continent, with PSG also monitoring his situation.

A swap deal could be on the cards, though Liverpool may also have to offer some cash to persuade Napoli to part with the 26-year old. The Reds have asked about his availability but time will tell if either side are willing to do a player-plus-class swap deal.

Moreno is fully expected to depart the club if the £15million asking price is met and, along with Ghoulam, Fulham’s Ryan Sessegnon and Monaco star Benjamin Mendy have been identified as possible replacements.
