Despite interest from Newcastle United, Liverpool will keep tabs on Inter Milan midfielder Nicolo Barella. For a number of months, the Reds have been mentioned as a potential swap for Barella as Jurgen Klopp looks to bolster his engine room. Alexis Mac Allister, who cost Liverpool £35 million, was already acquired from Brighton and Hove Albion, but at least one more midfielder is anticipated to join the team during the summer transfer window.
Several names have been mentioned as to who could arrive at Anfield. One of those is Barella, who enjoyed a fine 2022-23 season with Inter. He made recorded nine goals and 10 assists in 52 games as the Italian giants reached the Champions League final only to be beaten by Manchester City.
Earlier this week, it was reported that Newcastle had made a £50 million offer for Barella as they prepare for Champions League football next season. However, that offer is said to have been nowhere near what Inter would be willing to part ways with 26-year-old for. A price tag of £70 million has been suggested
Speaking on his Youtube channel, he said: “I would also keep an eye on Liverpool because Liverpool have always been following the player. Jurgen Klopp has always been a big fan of Barella so let’s see what happens with Liverpool. We know they are busy with Khephren Thuram, Manu Kone, and Gabri Veiga – they are speaking with agents of many midfielders because they will sign at least another important midfielder
They are also informed on the situation of Nicolo Barella – [it’s] clear to say that Nicolo Barella is a big Inter fan, very happy at Milan and £50 million is almost impossible.”
Liverpool “remains in pursuit” Newcastle United’s summer transfer goal is a £70m player.
