Liverpool in bidding war for Piotr Zielinski
AC Milan and Napoli are both working hard to make sure Liverpool target Piotr Zielinski remains in Italy this summer.
Reds boss Jurgen Klopp is hoping to secure a deal for the Poland star once he has finished at Euro 2016 in France.
It has been reported that Liverpool have already lodged a formal bid, thought to be around £11m, for the winger but that his current club Empoli are holding out for more money.
And now there could be a bidding war for Zielinski after both AC Milan and Napoli joined the race to land him this summer.
The 22-year-old has been on the Reds' radar ever since he was a teenager at boyhood club Orzeł Ząbkowice Śląskie, but he moved to Italy aged 17 when he joined Udinese.
He went on to make 19 Serie A appearances for the Serie A side before he agreed a two-year loan switch to Empoli in 2014, during which he made a total of 63 league outings, scoring five goals.
Zielinski is due to return to Udinese ahead of the forthcoming campaign but could be on his way straight out with a three-way chase for his signature now hotting up.
