Callejon Napoli WolfsburgLa Liga giants Atletico Madrid are interested in taking Napoli pair Faouzi Ghoulam and Jose Callejon to the Spanish capital this summer.

The Colchoneros are in the market for a left full-back following difficulties in re-signing former defender Filipe Luis from Chelsea, while Spanish midfielder Callejon has been a target for a few months and could be a replacement for Arda Turan who left the club on Monday night to sign for Barcelona.

According to Mundo Deportivo, the 2013/2014 La Liga champions are set to offer €30 million for the pair and hope to land the duo before the start of the new season, as coach and former Inter and Lazio midfielder Diego Simeone looks to reconstruct his side in preparation for the new campaign.

Algerian defender Ghoulam has made 36 appearances since joining the Partenopei in January 2014 from Saint-Etienne, while former Los Blancos midfielder Callejon has managed 68 appearances, netting an impressive 26 goals in Serie A during his two seasons with the southern giants.
