Udinese sporting director Cristiano Giaretta says ‘many top clubs’ want Piotr Zielinski, while ‘there’s no signal’ Duvan Zapata will return to Napoli.

The Partenopei loaned Zapata to the Friuli side last summer, but have the option to bring him back early if they want.

Zielinski has impressed on loan at Empoli this summer and Liverpool and Napoli are among the teams believed to be interested in the Pole.

Udinese sporting director Cristiano Giaretta says ‘many top clubs’ want Piotr Zielinski, while ‘there’s no signal’ Duvan Zapata will return to Napoli.

The Partenopei loaned Zapata to the Friuli side last summer, but have the option to bring him back early if they want.

Zielinski has impressed on loan at Empoli this summer and Liverpool and Napoli are among the teams believed to be interested in the Pole.

“The possibility of a return to Napoli is set in Zapata’s contract, but the loan is for two years and at the moment there’s no signal that we must think about him going back to Napoli in the summer,” Giaretta told Radio Kiss Kiss Napoli.

“He’s grown a lot since he suffered an injury, I think he needs another season at the top level with a club like ours and must consolidate himself as one of the most important players in the squad.

“Napoli would interrupt a path, given that he wouldn’t start there, while we’re certain he’ll become one of the best strikers in Italy.

“Zielinski? We have no foreclosure, we’ll have many deals with Napoli in the future as well but for now it’s too soon, we haven’t done anything yet but the eyes of many top clubs are on the player.”
