Liverpool have been linked with Nicolo Barella for a long time now, and speculation is once again doing the rounds.
The Reds are currently in the process of rebuilding their midfield amid expiring contracts and ageing legs
So far, Liverpool have brought Alexis Mac Allister to Anfield, but there’s scope for more reinforcements in the middle.
Now, according to Il Tempo, via the Liverpool Echo, the Reds are apparently plotting a big-money move for the Italian.
The Italian outlet claims that Premier League teams are looking to continue ‘looting’ Serie A for its best players.
Liverpool are reportedly aiming ‘straight at Barella’ in their quest to rebuild and reinforce their midfield.
He is a versatile player who can operate in central midfield, in a box-to-box role, at mezzala, and at No. 10.
Barella has excellent dribbling and ball-carrying skills, outstanding passing range, and racks up the goals and assists.
