Napoli midfielder Piotr Zielinski has denied ever speaking with Jurgen Klopp to discuss a transfer from Serie A to Premier League title challengers Liverpool.
Zielinski signed for Napoli in 2016 from Udinese, but it was at Empoli where Maurizio Sarri spotted the talent of the Poland international and brought him to Naples.
The Pole has now refuted any talk of a move to Liverpool and looks set to stay in Serie A.
Zielinski told Sportowefakty as quoted by the Daily Mail: "I've never talked to Klopp. There's nothing to say about Liverpool or anyone else.
