Liverpool must wait for Zielinski
Liverpool will have to wait until Poland’s Euro 2016 campaign is over before they can wrap up a deal for Piotr Zielinski.
Reports in Italy suggested that the Reds had agreed a fee of £12million with Udinese for the centre midfielder but the ECHO understands there is currently no agreement in place.
Zielinski has made it clear he wants to focus on his international commitments rather than sorting out his club future. Poland face Switzerland in the last 16 of the Euros this Saturday.
Liverpool tabled an offer of £9.5million earlier this month with the Serie A outfit holding out for around £15million.
A compromise is expected with sources close to the player saying he’s excited about the prospect of working with Jurgen Klopp at Anfield.
Napoli have also been looking to secure his signature but Zielinski favours a move to Liverpool.
Zielinski, who joined Udinese in 2011 from Zaglebie Lubin in his homeland, has spent the past two seasons on loan at Empoli.
The 22-year-old scored five goals and provided four assists in 36 appearances last season.
Zielinski has played most of his football as a central midfielder but he can also perform out wide or in the No 10 role.
