Liverpool have made contact with the Poland international Piotr Zielinski, according to the midfielder.
It was reported last month that Liverpool were set to hold talks over the signing of Zielinski, the 21-year-old who is on loan at Empoli from Udinese.
And on Monday he said: “There is a lot of truth in [talk of] the interest of [Liverpool manager] Jürgen Klopp in me. There was contact, I do not deny that.”
Zielinski scored in Empoli’s 2-0 Serie A victory over Fiorentina on Sunday.
He has 13 caps for Poland and is set to be part of their squad for Euro 2016.
