Liverpool still showing interest in Inter Milan star Nicolo Barella
Excitement and anticipation surround Liverpool FC’s potential midfield target, Nicolo Barella, as they learn that Inter Milan may be open to negotiating a deal.
The 26-year-old Italian international, who played a pivotal role in Inter’s memorable run to the Champions League final last year, has emerged as a highly sought-after player in the transfer market.
Liverpool’s prolonged interest in Barella is not surprising, given his exceptional performances and his ability to dictate play from the midfield. However, securing his services may come at a significant cost, as Inter Milan value him at a hefty €80m and above. [ via calciomercatoweb ]
Inter’s willingness to consider offers for Barella opens up opportunities for clubs like Liverpool to make a move. The Italian midfielder’s talent, vision, and playmaking abilities have caught the attention of several top clubs, making him one of the most coveted players in the market.
Barella to the Reds?
Liverpool’s pursuit of Barella is well-justified, considering the need to bolster their midfield options. His skill set perfectly aligns with Jurgen Klopp’s playing style and would add a new dimension to the Reds’ already potent midfield lineup.
Notably, Barella’s impact in Inter’s journey to the Champions League final, where they fell to Manchester City, showcases his ability to perform on the biggest stages. Such experiences and maturity at a young age make him a valuable asset for any ambitious club.
While Liverpool remain keen on securing Barella’s signature, they face competition from Manchester City, who also show interest in the Italian maestro. This potential tug-of-war between two Premier League giants could further escalate the price tag for Barella’s transfer.

Liverpool’s pursuit of Barella is not merely about adding another player to the squad; it’s a strategic move to strengthen their midfield core. With players like Jordan Henderson and Fabinho’s departures, the need for reinforcements in the midfield becomes more evident. His deal with Inter lasts until 2026 (Transfermarkt).
