Liverpool could sign £85m Inter Milan star to unleash midfield revolution

Even though it has been widely reported that Liverpool have concluded their transfer business for the summer, rumours linking players with moves to Anfield continue to circulate. You can’t blame agents for pushing such stories for their clients, when the interest of the Reds is a serious seal of approval these days.

The club may have only made three signings, but their business has freshened up three sections of the team. The acquisitions of Calvin Ramsay, Fabio Carvalho and Darwin Nunez will provide an injection of exciting young talent into the defence, midfield and forward line respectively.

But having missed out on Aurelien Tchouameni, it’s clear the Reds were aiming to add another top star to their options in the centre of the park. It has been claimed they are interested in signing Nicolo Barella from Inter Milan for £85m, and it’s obvious how such stories might have started.

Jurgen Klopp spoke about him ahead of his side’s Champions League tie with Inter Milan. “He is a really good player, a really good player. I like him a lot,” Klopp said. “He has all the things you want from a midfield player. He’s aggressive, he’s technically [good], he can run for ages and all these kinds of things." With praise as fulsome as that, transfer links between Barella and the Reds were inevitable.
