Liverpool are planning a considerable squad rebuild this summer, manager Jurgen Klopp has openly confirmed, and their priority will be the midfield section. And while most reports name Borussia Dortmund star Jude Bellingham as their No. 1 target, it is obvious that more than one player for the department will be needed, and Italian outlet Gazzetta dello Sport says another name on that list is Inter Milan s Nicolo Barella.
Having started his career with Como, Barella spent three years with Cagliari before joining Inter on an initial loan in 2019. The deal was made permanent the following year, and the Italy international signed his currently valid contract in November 2021, for five years. With three still remaining on it, the price for his services is likely to be high.
This season, the 26-year-old box-to-box midfielder has so far made a total of 30 appearances in all competitions, scoring six goals and providing seven assists.
