Cagliari Slap £45m Price Tag on Midfielder Nicolo Barella to Ward Off Interest From Liverpool

Liverpool target Nicolo Barella will not be allowed to leave Cagliari for less than £45m, according to reports in Italy.

21-year-old Barella has been impressive for the Rossoblu this season and has drawn admiring gazes from Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool, as well as Cagliari's Serie A rivals Juventus.

Italian outlet CalcioMercato reports that Cagliari will demand a huge fee for their hottest young property, hoping that it will deter interested parties.

A central midfielder by trade, Barella came through the ranks at Cagliari and made his Serie A debut against Parma in 2015.
