22-year-old Poland midfielder Piotr Zielinski is a wanted man this summer
Napoli appear to have beaten Liverpool to the signing of Udinese midfielder Piotr Zielinski.
Zielinski is being chased by a number of clubs in Italy following a productive loan spell at Empoli last season, but Liverpool were hoping the lure of the Premier League could persuade the Poland international to join them.
Udinese are aware of the interest in the 22-year-old and have decided to cash in, rather than give the player the chance to prove himself next season.
According to Sky Italia, Napoli have entered talks with Zielinski's representatives and are close to agreeing personal terms.
Liverpool could still hijack the deal by slapping a mega bid down for the youngster - but it is understood they are now pursuing other targets.
