Piotr Zieliński spent two seasons on loan at Empoli from Udinese before he joined Napoli in 2016. The latter were successful in overcoming competition from Liverpool in securing his services more than six years ago.
The Reds’ failure in signing the 28-year-old was discussed by Empoli president and even the player himself in the past.
Liverpool could be given a fresh opportunity to sign the Poland international, if the latest claims are to be believed. The player has a deal until 2024 and earns €3.5m per year.
Il Mattino state his current salary seems to be ‘too important’ when considering the wage structure set by Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis in recent months. Therefore, his future at the Naples club is increasingly in the balance.
Reports in Poland have stated the attacking midfielder could reduce his salary to €2.5m per year to sign an extension.
This is relayed by Il Mattino, who add his future can only be in the Premier League if he fails to agree a new deal with Napoli. When discussing options in England, Jürgen Klopp’s side are named.
It’s claimed Zieliński has ‘always dreamed’ of playing in the Premier League and Liverpool could convince Klopp’s old target to make a switch to England.
This possibility will only arise if Zieliński and Napoli fail to find an agreement over a new contract.
