Napoli are said to have reached an agreement with Udinese over a £8.7m plus add-ons deal for the Poland international.
However, it seems that won't be enough to convince the 22-year-old to remain in Italy with Napoli.
"The lad prefers Liverpool," De Laurentiis told Italian newspaper Il Mattino.

"Clearly he's never been to Naples before and probably he's in love with The Beatles. If he doesn't want to come, then he won't come.
"If I were him, though, I would drop everything and run here."
Udinese have placed a £12m price-tag on Zielinski, who has spent the last two seasons on loan at Empoli.
