Bruno Fernandes has been speaking to Canal Plus Sport about his friend Piotr Zieliński, who is wanted by Liverpool and Manchester City.
Information shared with Radio Kiss Kiss Napoli revealed that Jürgen Klopp and Pep Guardiola are eyeing the 27-year-old.
Speaking to Canal Plus Sport, the Manchester United maestro said: “Technically, I can say that Zieliński is better trained than I am. We had a good challenge. I think in the past, Zieliński was actually a bit shy. He was really young then, just like me, at that time.
“I spoke to him a few months ago and told him that I would like to play with him again. So, who knows what the future has waiting for us. For me, he is a really, really top player.”
If Zieliński really is better than Fernandes in terms of technical ability, Liverpool or Manchester City could soon have a phenomenon on their hands.
Manchester United’s No.18 has scored 28 goals this season, while also providing 17 assists.
Fernandes can score all types of goals thanks to his fantastic technical skills, so who knows what Zieliński could do if he moved to the Premier League.
Interestingly, the 59-cap Poland international is someone who Klopp has seemingly monitored for a while.
As revealed by the BBC, Liverpool had an £11.7 million offer for the midfielder rejected in 2016.
However, Udinese then strangely accepted the exact same amount of cash from Napoli, where he still plays to this day.
There’s no questioning Zieliński’s ability.
In 46 appearances this season, the Pole has scored ten goals while also providing 13 assists.
That’s not quite as good as Fernandes, but imagine the numbers he could record with players like Mohamed Salah and Kevin De Bruyne surrounding him.
In Liverpool’s case, they are actually in need of another midfielder, as Gini Wijnaldum’s contract runs out in a matter of weeks.
Keep an eye on Zieliński’s future, as there’s every chance we could see him in the Premier League next season, in our view.
