Player has chosen between Liverpool and AC Milan
The agent of midfielder Piotr Zielinski has claimed the player has decided whether his future lies at Liverpool or AC Milan, but will wait before revealing his preferred choice.
It was thought that Liverpool tabled a bid for the Polish midfielder in June, thought to be around £9million. AC Milan have also been thought to be interested.
Bartolomej Bolek, Zielinski’s agent, suggested to La Gazzetta dello Sport that the 22-year-old had made a decision about where he would play next season but would be keeping silent about his future for the time being.
“I met owner [Giampaolo] Pozzo and spoke to Udinese today,” Bolek said. We are trying to find the best solution both for the club and the player.
“We know that many offers reached Udinese for Zielinski. We’re talking to Pozzo and the interested clubs.
“After the Euros, he went on vacation as he needed to rest after a long season. He will return to Udinese on July 22 or 23.
“It’s true [that Liverpool have been tracking the player] but I don’t like to talk about negotiations in the papers.”
When asked whether Zielinski had a preference between Liverpool or AC Milan, Bolek replied: “We’ve decided, but it’s a secret.”
