Liverpool linked with £44.6 million move for Cagliari star

Liverpool have been linked with a move for one of Serie A’s most sought-after players.

According to Sardinia based media outlet La Nuova Sardegna, the Reds are interested in Cagliaria midfielder Nicolo Barella.

The 21-year-old has been impressive for Cagliari so far this season, scoring five goals in 26 league appearances.

Borussia Dortmuind, Inter Milan, AC Milan and Juventus are also said to be monitoring Barella.

Cagliari president Tommaso Giulini thinks highly of the midfielder and he has insisted he won’t be sold cheaply.

“For us, Nicolo is a modern midfielder and could be worth as much as €50 million – he can play in any role,” he said.
