According to Daily Star, reports have suggested that Liverpool are ‘working on’ a £60million deal for Nicolo Barella in the summer transfer window.
The Italian midfielder had an impressive UEFA Euro 2020, which saw his country, Italy, lift the trophy. But the Reds are not going to get him on the cheap.
The aforementioned fee is on the steep side. If any such deal is agreed, it would make Barella the third most expensive
signing in the Reds’ history.But one aspect of the deal that the Reds may not have to be worried about anymore is the interest from Arsenal. According to Sportmediaset (h/t Daily Star), Inter have ‘rebuffed’ interest from the Gunners, who were keen on the midfielder.
Georginio Wijnaldum’s departure to PSG is something that would worry fans. The ever-present Dutchman in their midfield has left a big void to be filled.
Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, both of who have had injury issues during their Liverpool stay, are possible solutions to Liverpool’s midfielder conundrum. However, a new face in the team, such as that of Barella, would undoubtedly relax the fans a bit more.
Nevertheless, the Reds should make sure that Jurgen Klopp has the owner’s backing in the market and can have the tools he needs to work his magic. If the German is in favour of a deal for the Inter midfielder, then the club should try to back him.
Having signed players like Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk and Andy Robertson, while pushing Trent Alexander-Arnold towards first-team football, Klopp has shown that he has an eye for talent.
But only time will tell if the Reds splash the cash on the 24-year-old midfielder after a season where Covid-19 has impacted the club’s finances.
