Napoli are reportedly close to agreeing a new contract with Albania international full-back Elseid Hysaj.

The 26-year-old is only tied to the club until June 2021, so must either be sold this summer or risk leaving as a free agent.

At the Stadio San Paolo since 2015 and spending practically his entire career in Italy, Hysaj had seemed set to leave a few months ago.

According to CalcioNapoli24.it, the situation has changed thanks to coach Gennaro Gattuso, who asked for him to remain.
