Top 5 defenders out of contracts next summer

Chiellini will run out his contract at Juventus next summer, but hasn't signed a new deal yet

#1 Faouzi Ghoulam - left-back (Napoli)

Faouzi Ghoulam's contract also expires in the summer

Contracted until: 30/06/2018

The Algerian full-back has been a revelation at Napoli since joining them from Saint-Etienne during the summer of 2013. He was wrapped up by Rafa Benitez from the French club, and has gone on to make 153 appearances in all the competitions for the Ciucciarelli club.

Ghoulam is currently refusing to sign a new contract with the Italian giants, and claims to want a new challenge abroad.

Napoli resisted offers for Ghoulam last summer deciding to keep him for another season at Naples. Manchester City and Chelsea are potential suitors for Faouzi Ghoulam who has impressed with balanced defending and attacking approach as a defender.

It will be interesting to see where Ghoulam ends up, as plenty of teams are in dire need of a quality left-back.
