Napoli left-back Faouzi Ghoulam is set to sign a new deal with the club despite interest from Premier League duo Liverpool and Manchester City.
The 26-year-old had been lined up as a temporary replacement for Benjamin Mendy, who is in the midst of a long spell on the sidelines after picking up a serious knee injury against Crystal Palace.
Ghoulam has just one year remaining on his current deal and City and Liverpool were handed a boost, after an agent recently said the player was unlikely to extend.
However, that no longer looks to be the case with Sportmediaset reporting the player is now close to renewing his contract.
