Zielinski has played 23 games for the Italian side this season, scoring six goals and providing seven assists.
The Reds, meanwhile, have struggled in midfield this campaign. They are looking to sign a new player in the middle of the park. The likes of Jude Bellingham, Moises Caicedo, Sofyan Amrabat, Youri Tielemans, and more are on their shortlist.Zielinski is also a player Jurgen Klopp’s team are interested in. Despite being only 28, he has made 89 appearances for the Polish national team in his career.
Klopp praised the player after Liverpool’s Champions League defeat against Napoli earlier in the season. He told the media (via CM):
“Napoli has many young players but they are also good. Some players left and there was nervousness in the environment. But I think we can build the team around Zielinski, a great player. I’m not surprised that Spalletti has stayed calm for the environment he has created, he is the ideal coach for Napoli.”
