Bologna youngster Kacper Urbański could play for Liverpool and has his chance to prove that in the Champions League this week.
That’s according to Jerzy Dudek, via Super Express, who has backed the 20-year-old to continue impressing and perhaps make a move to a big club in future.
Liverpool take on Bologan in the second round of the Champions League this evening, hosting the Italian side at Anfield in matchday two after seeing off AC Milan in the first round.
They are favourites for the tie but face a Bologna side who impressed in Serie A last season and ultimately qualified for the Champions League.
Urbański is one of their rising stars, having joined the club’s youth system from Lechia Gdansk in February 2021 and moved up the ranks since then.
He managed 11 goals and eight assists in 64 games for the Primavera side and has one goal and one assist in 31 games for Bologna’s first team to date after stepping up in 2022.
“In my opinion, he would feel good in a team like Liverpool, because there are many players who play in small spaces,” he said.
“You can see that Kacper finds himself well in such a game. He showed it in the national team. In Bologna, he still needs those minutes, and that’s a big problem for him.
“He has to be confident and egoistic enough to get ahead of his competitors and fight for the position in the club that he has earned in the national team.
“He is an offensive player, but we need some other players around him who will allow him to extract even greater skills. If he plays at Anfield Road, it won’t be easy for him, because Liverpool narrow the playing field.
“Then he has no time for anything, and any indecision is exploited. But let him gain experience, because all this will pay off later in the national team.”
