177 Liverpool are still one of the clubs in the mix when it comes to trying to sign Napoli midfielder, Piotr Zielinski.
Polish midfielder Zielinski has long been on the radar of Liverpool and reports in the summer suggested the Reds were looking to sign him then as well.
The Napoli star has been a key figure for the Italian side over a number of years. He played a key role in them winning the Scudetto and has made well over 300 appearances for the Naples club.
However, with his contract up in 2024, Calciomercato reports he could be on the move soon, with Liverpool once again in the conversation.
Liverpool remain keen on signing Piotr Zielinski
According to Calciomercato, Zielinski has a number of clubs looking into if they can sign him.
Juventus and Inter Milan are among them in Italy, while it’s Liverpool and the admiration of Jurgen Klopp that gets him the interest from England.
Indeed, past reports have suggested Klopp has a good relationship with Zielinski’s agent and that could well hold some sway in conversations.
The ‘exceptional‘ midfielder is a bit on the older side of the scale at 29. But in terms of experience and quality, he is everything Jurgen Klopp likes in a midfield player.
Maybe a few seasons too late
Zielinski is a name that seems to crop up over and over again in transfer windows. His links to Liverpool are nothing brand new and it’s no surprise to see the Reds linked again.
However, it could have come just a season or two too late now.
There was a time when Liverpool were desperate for new midfielders and Zielinski would have been ideal.
But with the new signings this summer lowering the age profile of the Reds’ squad, it could be hard for Klopp to justify this one to the board.
Still, on a free, he is a fine player and one who would add yet more depth at Anfield.
