"It’s a bit exaggerated. I cannot talk about if we were interested, yes or no.
"What I can tell you if he’s a great player.
“He was in Spalletti’s team in Napoli which I loved to watch, when they were dominating the league in Italy and doing really well in Europe.
"I think they even faced Liverpool that season, yeah?
“He’s a great player, and Paris Saint-Germain has many of them, but he is definitely one of them.”Federico Chiesa shows true Liverpool colours in transfer message to former Reds target
