Napoli are trying to raise the release clause of Liverpool and Chelsea target Piotr Zielinski to a massive €150 million.
Calciomercato report that the Italian side have opened preliminary talks with the player’s representatives over a new deal in the club.
Zielinski’s current release clause stands at a respectable €65 million, but Liverpool are believed to be stepping up their interest, according to reports.
Napoli are hopeful that by agreeing on a new deal at the club, they can wipe out of the current clause.
Aurelio De Laurentiis has been keen to not lose any players on the cheap and is known to be a tough negotiator when it comes to transfers.
Zielinski is very highly thought of in Italy and was linked with a move to Anfield prior to joining Napoli.
Chelsea also tried to sign the player during the summer, but Maurizio Sarri was unable to complete any moves for Napoli players after signing Jorginho.
