Liverpool: The Reds are considering a £77 million bid for Nicolo Barella
The Premier League club could pay a high price for the Italy international.
Liverpool are willing to pay the cash to sign Nicolo Barella, with Italian writer Marco Barzaghi suggesting via Caught Offside that the Reds might offer up to £77 million to sign the player this summer.
Has Nicolo Barella performed well this season?
The midfielder has been with Inter for four seasons and has helped them win the Serie A title and reach the Champions League final. They nearly conquered Europe this year, but their league effort resulted in a third-place finish.
The 26-year-old was once again a crucial member of the squad, appearing in 35 Serie A matches for the club during the 2022/23 season. Despite playing in the middle of the field, he was able to contribute six goals and six assists – his second-best goal contribution rate in his career with 12.
A peek at his FBRef scouting report demonstrates that the player is one of the best in Europe at his position. There is a lot to like about Barella when compared to other midfielders in the Men’s ‘Top Five’ big leagues. He has a non-penalty goal rate of 0.22 per 90, which places him in the top half of the league.
It means that he not only scores more goals than other midfielders, but he also excels at creating goalscoring opportunities for himself and his teammates.
Are Liverpool interested in signing Barella?
According to Marco Barzaghi’s report on Caught Offside, the Italian may have earned himself a huge money move to England.
That is because Liverpool may be willing to pay a high price to attract him to the Premier League. It’s reported that the club are planning to offer £77 million to entice him to Anfield, and while no official bid has been submitted, FSG are finally willing to spend big.
Barella is an exciting asset to have on any club, according to football journalist Josh Bunting, who describes the midfielder as a “difference maker” who can play “beautiful” football with a “winner’s mentality.”
He has a lot of excellent qualities, which he might bring to a Liverpool midfield that is in desperate need of renewal. Even though the amount is quite high, it may be worth it for the Italy star.
