It appears as though Liverpool will face some competition for the signature of Bologna midfielder Gaston Ramirez after it was revealed that Napoli are interested in signing the Uruguayan.
The Daily Mail reported last week that Liverpool had bid £16.3million for Ramirez who has scored eight league goals in 32 appearances in Serie A this season
Ramirez only recently signed a new long term deal with the Italian side but it seems they may be willing to listen to offers for a player who has impressed in an underachieving side.
While Liverpool are seemingly interested, the Bologna vice president Maurizio Setti has confirmed that Napoli are also chasing the midfielder.
“The player is being followed by a lot of clubs, including Napoli,” Setti told Radio CRC on Wednesday, as reported on Football Italia.
“There is nothing of substance yet, but he has a number of offers and a lot of scouts come to watch him play. Ramirez is a player who can make the difference for any team in the world because he is a champion.
“Like all Uruguayans, who are well suited to Italian football, he will improve season after season.”
The 21-year-old has been capped nine times by Uruguay and could join international teammates should he decide to move to either Liverpool or Napoli.
Napoli has Edinson Cavanni, while Liverpool boast their own Urugayan striker in Luis Suarez, as well as central defender Sebastian Coates who played with Ramirez at youth level.
