Internal discussions are taking place at Liverpool regarding the potential pursuit of Nicolo Barella from Inter Milan.
Liverpool Football Club finds itself engaged in internal discussions regarding a potential move for Italian midfield maestro Nicolo Barella. The 26-year-old, who has established himself as a key figure in the Italian national team, remains on Jurgen Klopp’s radar as a primary target. However, any formal offer will hinge upon Inter Milan’s valuation of the player.
The speculation surrounding Nicolo Barella’s future has refused to dissipate, with Premier League clubs expressing keen interest in securing his services. Among the suitors, Liverpool have emerged as one of the primary contenders vying for his signature.
Newcastle United were initially linked with the talented Italian midfielder, but their pursuit encountered several obstacles, including Barella’s apparent lack of enthusiasm for a move to Tyneside. Consequently, the Magpies swiftly shifted their attention towards another prospect, Sandro Tonali, who has since committed his future to a different club.
Reports suggest that Liverpool are prepared to meet Inter Milan’s alleged €80 million asking price, as Jurgen Klopp deems Barella indispensable to his tactical plans. The German tactician is keen on bolstering his midfield options following the arrival of Alexis Mac Allister.
The club’s priority lies in recruiting a player capable of operating in deeper areas of the pitch, prompting important discussions with OGC Nice’s Khephren Thuram. Additionally, the talented French prospect Manu Kone has been monitored, but it appears that Thuram stands as the more realistic target for the Reds.
