Forza Italian Football editor Conor Clancy believes Cagliari defender Sebastian Walukiewicz is not ready for a move to Liverpool.
The 21-year-old centre-back made 21 appearances for Serie A side Cagliari last season and has already claimed three international caps with Poland.
According to Italian outlet Calcio Mercato, Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is monitoring Walukiewicz and mulling over whether to make a move before the transfer window closes at the end of the month.
The report claims the Merseysiders' Premier League rivals Manchester United and Chelsea are also keeping tabs on the talented youngster.
Liverpool's interest comes despite being handed the boost of Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez returning to the fold following lengthy spells on the sidelines.
Dutchman van Dijk was on the treatment table for nine months after suffering anterior cruciate ligament damage and Gomez was out of action for eight months thanks to sustaining a knee injury while on international duty with England.
Serie A expert Clancy believes a move to Liverpool would come too soon in Walukiewicz's career.
He told Football FanCast: "Playing centre-back for Liverpool is obviously quite a specialised role. You saw last season that once van Dijk was out, it went to pot a little bit.
"Going from Cagliari to Liverpool is a big jump and I would be cautious about anybody who were to make that step. I wouldn't be so sure."
