He played a few games when he 1st moved to Brescia, but the vast majority of his playing time in Italy has been in serie b.
This year was his 1st real season in serie a, at 20 years old, which really put's his performances into perspective. The only midfielder to score more goals than him this season is Kaka.
He often draw's comparisons to Nedved. I slightly agree in that he has the same work rate and power to his game. He doesn't sit as deep in midfield like Alonso, so he wouldn't be as direct of a replacement.
Liverpool are a bigger club, but Napoli as a footballing city is fanatical. I think he will stay another season in Italy, but u can never be sure when prem money comes around.
