Manager Jurgen Klopp has openly confirmed that Liverpool are planning a major squad overhaul this summer, with midfield as their priority. And while most reports list Borussia Dortmund star Jude Bellingham as their No. 1 target, it’s clear the department will need more than one player, with Italian publication Gazzetta dello Sport reporting that another name on the list is Inter Milan’s Nicolò Barella. .
After starting his career at Como, Barella spent three years at Cagliari before joining Inter on an initial loan in 2019. The deal became permanent the following year and in November 2021, the Italian international signed his current five-year contract. With three more left on it, the price for his services is likely to be high.
The 26-year-old box-to-box midfielder has made a total of 30 appearances in all competitions this season, scoring six goals and providing seven assists.
