Liverpool want Piotr Zielinski once again and could launch a move to finally sign the Napoli midfielder this summer.

That is according to a new report from Meczyki in Zielinski’s native Poland.

They suggest that Liverpool are ‘seriously considering’ making a move for Zielinski at the end of the season.

Zielinski is out of contract in 2024 and the report claims that talks over a new deal at Napoli are ‘difficult’.

A summer exit is now expected and ‘informal talks’ over a move to Liverpool are expected to take place.

A fee of around £30million is mentioned with Napoli seemingly keen to cash in before Zielinski moves for nothing in a year.

Liverpool have wanted Piotr Zielinski for years

Liverpool fans are probably sick of seeing rumours about Zielinski at this point!

The Napoli midfielder has been linked with a move to Anfield for years now.

Jurgen Klopp actually wanted to sign Zielinski back in 2016, with the Pole shining on loan from Udinese at Empoli.

Udinese rejected Liverpool’s offer and later sold Zielinski to Napoli, with the Reds going on to land Gini Wijnaldum from Newcastle United instead.

That’s nearly seven years ago now but the rumours have remained with Klopp seemingly a big fan.

As quoted by Calciomercato back in September, Klopp called Zielinski a ‘great player’.

Liverpool now want to overhaul their midfield and it’s not a surprise to hear that Klopp is keen again.

Liverpool could really benefit from Zielinski’s contract situation and finally bring him to Anfield.

The Reds seemingly want Alexis Mac Allister too and could land both the Brighton midfielder and Zielinski for less than Jude Bellingham.

That will appeal to Liverpool and Zielinski is once again a key name for Reds fans to keep tabs on this summer.
