The Napoli ace is attracting attention from Liverpool, according to reports.
According to Italian media outlet Calcio Mercato, Liverpool are still keeping tabs on Napoli Piotr Zielinski, having missed out on signing the Poland international in 2016 after the European Championships.
Jürgen Klopp is expected to be a busy man during the summer transfer window, with central midfield a particular area of concern, given the fact that Emre Can is looking increasingly more likely to to leave Anfield at the end of the season.
Calcio Mercato claim that the Reds are closely monitoring the progress of Zielinski, with the Pole struggling for game-time at Napoli, having made just eight Serie A starts all season long.
Would Zielinski be a good signing for Liverpool?
The Poland international is an accomplished passer of the football, and possesses excellent vision. He is cool and composed when in possession, and has a fantastic engine – all qualities that are a prerequisite for any Klopp signing.
He is always busy, and puts in a shift every time he takes to the pitch.
Zielinski would be the ideal replacement for Can, with the added caveat that he can also operate as a left-winger – something that could prove to be vital for Liverpool, throughout the course of what is such a long and physically demanding campaign.
The Napoli man is valued at £22.1 million, according to Transfer Markt, and that would represent fantastic business in today’s ludicrously inflated transfer market.
Whether the Italians would be willing to sell Zielinski to Liverpool, though, remains to be seen.
