Liverpool 'set to open' Zielinski talks
Liverpool are set to hold talks with Udinese over the potential signing of midfielder Piotr Zielinski, according to reports.
The Poland international’s progression has been monitored by the club’s scouts during his loan spell at Empoli, most recently watching him in the Serie A side’s 1-0 victory over Genoa a week ago.
Zielinski’s energetic displays from central midfield have caught Jurgen Klopp’s eye and, according to the Daily Mail, the Reds are now ready to open negotiations.
Initial reports of Liverpool’s interest, which surfaced during the January transfer window, suggested that Zielinski would be available for around £11million.
The Merseyside club have already completed the signing of another midfielder, combative 19-year-old Marko Grujic from Red Star Belgrade, who will join the first-team squad next season.
Schalke 04 centre-back Joel Matip, who can deputise in defensive midfield, will also join next season on a free transfer.
