Italian clubs are reportedly showing interest in Faouzi Ghoulam. The Algerian left-back, who spent much of the second half of the season on the sidelines, might need to part ways with Saint-Étienne in the upcoming summer. Ghoulam appears to be a favorable prospect in the transfer market, with two Italian Serie A teams, Torino and Sampdoria, closely monitoring his situation, as per L’Équipe.
Despite the interest, there seems to be a disparity in valuation. Saint-Étienne’s leadership is said to be seeking a transfer fee of 7 million euros for the 22-year-old, who is under contract until 2016. However, Italian clubs seem hesitant to meet this asking price, indicating a potential obstacle in the negotiation process.
