Napoli have secured the services of Piotr Zielinski from Udinese for a fee believed to be in the region of €15 million.
The 22-year-old underwent a medical on Thursday before signing a five-year deal.
The midfielder had previously been linked with Liverpool and seemed set to continue his career at Anfield, but the Premier League side refused to meet Udinese s valuation of the player and he has now moved to the Stadio San Paolo instead.
Zielinski joined Udinese from Zaglebie Lubin at the age of 17 and made his debut for the Stadio Friuli side in November 2012. He was unable to secure regular first-team football at Udinese, though, and spent the past two seasons on loan Empoli, where he did enough to earn himself a move to Napoli.

Manchester United look set to finally sign Paul Pogba after weeks of speculation.
It seems that French midfielder Paul Pogba is finally set to complete a world record £89million move from Juventus to Manchester United.

Looking to extend on what has been an eye-catching start to the 2021/22 campaign, Stevenage will make the trip to Bradford on Tuesday night.
Starting with the hosts, while Bradford would have been disappointed to have seen their League Cup adventure come to an early end away at Championship outfit Nottingham Forest last week, The Bantams certainly bounced back over the weekend. Watching Lee Angol eventually grab his brace and what was a last-gasp winner at home against Oldham, Head Coach Derek Adams has seen his side muster four points in their back-to-back League Two contests so far. Looking to put behind them what was a hugely worrying end to the 2020/21 campaign, Bradford will also be desperate to find some stability o…

Jose Mourinho snapped at a journalist after refusing to answer his question in a media conference following Roma s 3-0 loss to Inter on Saturday.
First-half goals from Hakan Calhanoglu, former Roma striker Edin Dzeko and Denzel Dumfries consigned an injury-hit Roma to a second straight defeat after they finally appeared to have hit some form.

When a journalist attempted to ask Mourinho a question, the former Inter boss went on the attack.
I do not want to answer the question, Mourinho began. It s easy to ask questions like this, and obviously your job is easier and that s why we get …
Stoke City have agreed an undisclosed fee to sign Glasgow Rangers midfielder Maurice Edu.

Arrigo Sacchi claims reported Milan target Zlatan Ibrahimovic is arguably a better player than Lionel Messi, but also warns of the need to integrate the striker into Sinisa Mihajlovic s side.
The Sweden international has just one year left on his contract at Paris Saint-German and has been heavily linked with a return to San Siro, where he featured between 2010 and 2012.
Sacchi backed Ibrahimovic to invigorate a Milan side that finished 10th in Serie A last term but expressed concern at his ability to work in a team.
I am too friendly with [president Silvio] Berlusconi and [CEO Adrian] Galliani to say what I think of Milan in the transfer market, he told Rai Radio 2.
Ibrahimovic is one of the greats. If football were an individual sport, I think he …
