Liverpool have been linked with a move for 27-year-old Italian international midfielder Nicolo Barella, with a bid on the cards.
According to a report by Spanish outlet Fichajes, Liverpool are preparing an €80 million offer to sign 27-year-old Italian midfielder Nicolo Barella from Serie A club Inter Milan next year.
Barella has established himself as one of the finest midfielders in European football, and he could prove to be an exceptional acquisition for Liverpool if they can get the deal done. They need more control and creativity in the middle of the park, and the 27-year-old would be the ideal acquisition.
The midfielder has proven himself in Italy with Inter Milan, and he has won multiple Serie A titles with them. He might feel that a new challenge would be ideal for him at this stage of his career. It will be interesting to see if he is ready to move to the Premier League.
Barella would improve Liverpool
Nicolo Barella has the physical and technical attributes to do well in English football, and he could establish himself as a key player for Liverpool. The Reds will be hoping to challenge for major trophies in the coming seasons, and they need quality players at their disposal.
The Italian international will help them control games better and he will help carve out goalscoring opportunities from the middle of the park as well. They have missed a player with his skill set since the departure of Thiago Alcantara. The 27-year-old is at the peak of his powers, and he will be expected to hit the ground running and transform Liverpool in the middle of the park.
It remains to be seen whether Liverpool can sign Barella with an €80 million bid. Recent reports have suggested that Inter Milan have a higher price tag. Meanwhile, Liverpool must look to bring in a reliable goalscorer, another goalscoring winger, and a central defender as well.
With that said, a move for the Italian international will be quite exciting for the club as well. He is one of the best midfielders in the world, and he could make a huge difference for them. Barella is the kind of player who would lift the spirits around the club and send out a major statement to Liverpool’s rivals.
