Italian press are today linking Slovakian star Marek Hamsik with a move to Liverpool.
Hamsik has previously stated his intention to stay in Italy but may be swayed if Liverpool (who also have compatrior Martin Skrtel on the books) were to come in for him.
The highly regarded Napoli man, who netted 12 times last season may be available for around £11 million.
The Reds would only be able to fund such a move before the new campaign if wantaway midfielder Javier Mascherano completes his expected £20 million move to Inter Milan this week.
