Napoli star Elif Elmas' agent George Gardy admitted he would have to "assess" his client's future this summer due to the interest coming from the English giants Liverpool. And supposedly in the race for the signature of the "diamond" is also Newcastle who will play in the Champions League groups next season, reports journalist Fabrizio Romano.

The representative from Macedonia recorded six goals and three assists in Serie A this season, in which Napoli became the champion of Italy for the first time in 33 years.

Reports in December claimed that Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp had a 'private call' in an attempt to hire our football player.

He was one of the key players of Luciano Spalletti, appearing in 35 of 37 games, starting "only" 13. As confirmed by the president of Napoli, Aurelio De Laurentiis, Spalletti will take a year off and will not lead the club next season.

Elmas has a valid contract with the "Neapolitans" until June 30, 2025 (value 26 million euros according to "Transfermarkt"), the champion of Italy, the club and next season will play in the groups of the Champions League. New responsibilities await him this month with our A national team in the qualifiers for Euro 2024, the duels with Ukraine in Skopje and against England in Manchester.

Romano asked Gardy if there was anything specific with Liverpool and Newcastle as they were linked to the player and what the general situation was.

- I think that this player is a little underestimated because he is young and has a lot of experience in the national team. He has been playing at a high level for four seasons. There is a lot of interest in him because he is very versatile on the field, he plays in three, four positions. He is a player with great character and a great future. With the new coach of Napoli, there will be some evaluations, and whether they still believe in the player, we will understand. If not, we will find a solution because he has interest not only from the Premier League, as you said, but also from Spain and German clubs - says Gardi.
