Liverpool want 23-year-old midfield ace, Klopp has spoken to player

Liverpool are reportedly interested in signing the Napoli midfielder Eljif Elmas.

According to a report from Turkish journalist Ahmet Ercanlar, Liverpool are keen on signing the 23-year-old Napoli midfielder and manager Jurgen Klopp has personally called the player regarding a potential move.

The 23-year-old joined the Italian club from Turkish outfit Fenerbahce and they are set to pocket a percentage of the fee if the move goes through.

Elmas has not been a regular starter for Napoli this season and a move away from the Italian club could be a tempting option for the player. The midfielder has played just 529 minutes in the Italian league this season and he has three goals and an assist to his name.

Liverpool could certainly use a creative midfielder like him and it will be interesting to see if the Reds can agree on a deal with the Italian outfit.

The midfielder has a contract with Napoli until the summer of 2025 and therefore the Italian side are under no pressure to sell him in January. If Liverpool are truly interested in securing his services, the Premier League side might have to pay a premium.
