Reds interested in ‘pricey’ Barella
Nicolo Barella is reportedly on Liverpool’s radar as Jurgen Klopp continues to plan his summer rebuild, but the midfielder won’t come cheap.
The 26-year-old has attracted interest from a number of clubs, with Newcastle currently said to be conducting negotiations with Inter Milan according to the Independent‘s Miguel Delaney.
Liverpool are also among the interested parties, but any potential deal could well be scuppered by the Italian’s price tag.
The Champions League runners-up are said to have set an asking price in the region of £80 million, with Newcastle only prepared to go as high as £50 million as things stand.
