Liverpool's biggest weakness for much of 2022/23 has been their midfield.

Jurgen Klopp built his success at Liverpool around a fast, powerful, pressing midfield, which mainly consisted of Georginio Wijnaldum, Jordan Henderson and Fabinho.

However, Wijnaldum has now left, Henderson is not the player he once was and Fabinho has also put in some questionable displays over the course of the campaign.

And with Jude Bellingham seemingly set to join Real Madrid, Liverpool are turning their attention to alternative targets.

One of these is a player Liverpool and Jurgen Klopp have been interested in for a while.

According to a report from the Polish outlet Meczyki.pl, Liverpool are seriously considering a move for Napoli midfielder Piotr Zielinski.

Liverpool were linked with Zielinski back in 2016 as well but the midfielder chose to join the Italian club back then.

The report adds that Klopp knows the player's agent well. Zielinski is represented by Bartłomiej Bolek and some of his other clients like Lukasz Piszczek and Kamil Grabara have played under the German manager.

Zielinski is under contract with Napoli until 2024. No transfer fee is mentioned in the report.
