Inter Milan midfield talent Nicolo Barella is a top target for both Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur with the Premier League duo understood to be the frontrunners for the player’s signature.
The 24-year-old Barella has enjoyed a superb run of form over the past year with his exploits in the centre of the park for Inter Milan helping them clinch Serie A glory last season followed by the player exceeding expectations with his showings for Italy in their Euros triumph.
As Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp scouts the transfer market this summer for a new midfield name following Gini Wijnaldum’s move to Paris Saint-Germain, Inter’s Barella is one player that is believed to be a priority target for the German coach.
Reports from The Express suggest that the Reds are joined by Premier League rivals Spurs as the prime candidates for landing the coveted signature of the Italy international who was one of the most influential figures for the Azzuri during their fantastic Euros campaign this summer.
Inter Milan are backed to entertain offers in the region of £55 million which means that it remains up to both Liverpool and Spurs to ponder over the transfer fee understood to be the Serie A club’s price-tag for their midfield asset.
