Reds boost in Lyon winger chase
Liverpool could renew their interest in Lyon winger Rachid Ghezzal, according to reports.
Ghezzal had a solid season for Lyon last term making 38 appearances in all competitions, scoring 10 goals and providing nine assists.
French newspaper L'Equipe claim the 24-year-old attracted interest from Liverpool in January who made an approach for the winger.
And now the Reds, Middlesbrough and Spanish sides Celta Vigo and Villarreal are reportedly all keen on the Algeria international.
Lyon chairman Jean-Michel Aulas has revealed Ghezzal will be offered a new deal by the Ligue 1 club - with just one year remaining on his contract.
However, negotiations have stalled due to Ghezzal extending his holiday break and the chairman has admitted he could now be transfer listed.
"He left on vacation, he was to return late last week but extended his stay for a week," Aulas told L'Equipe.
"I asked to see it. He did not sign the extension.
"He will be in fact on the transfer list if we do not reach the agreement next week."
