Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool are reportedly ready to make a move for Nicolo Barella, but so are Chelsea and Eddie Howe’s Newcastle United.
The report has claimed that all three Premier League clubs are ready to make bids for the 26-year-old Italy international midfielder.
Inter are willing to sell Barella this summer even though he is an important player in the squad.
but the former Serie A and UEFA Champions League winners want as much as €80 million (£70 million) in transfer fees for him
The Italian – who is “aggressive”, “technical” and “can run for ages”, according to Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp.
He is one of the best midfielders around who is in his best form and probably will get better.
Ten hag believes that he would make the Reds better and stronger in the middle of the park.
Barella can play in a box-to-box role, can dribble past players, is combative and dynamic, and can impose himself in the middle of the park.
The 26-year-old has made 29 starts and three substitute appearances in Serie A this season.Barella has scored five goals and given six assists in those games.
The Italian star has also scored three goals in 10 appearances in the UEFA Champions League for Inter this campaign.
United and Liverpool for barella
The Red Devils and Jurgen Klopp’s team are monitoring the Italy international’s situation at the Nerazzurri.
As things stand, the midfielder is looking to part ways with the Serie A giants next summer.
To that end, both the Old Trafford side and the Merseysiders have the 26-year-old on their radar.
But it is the Anfield side who are in pole position at the moment.
Liverpool’s midfield room has left a lot to be desired this season. They seem to lack the energy and spark they have had in previous years under Klopp.
The Anfield side also have the likes of James Milner, Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain in the final months of their existing deals.
As for United, they dominante the middle of the park with Casemiro and Christian Eriksen last summer.
However, apart from the Brazilian and Danish nationals, Erik ten Hag has been unable to rely on other midfielders.
