Stevie Nicol has supported Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool to get Nicolo Barella this summer from Serie A powerhouse Inter. Barella is a transfer target for Arsenal.
Numerous Premier League elite clubs, including Liverpool and Arsenal, which is poised to compete in the Champions League, have expressed a keen interest in signing the Italy international.
You would think that Nicolo Barella, who recently represented Inter in the Champions League final, would want to remain at that level, but according to Nicol, he would be a “great” and “fantastic” acquisition for his former club once it was made known a move is likely, as he told ESPN.
He would be great for Liverpool,” said Nicol. “Talking about fitting the profile of Liverpool at their best in the middle of the park. He would be fantastic.”
But according to Italian outlet FC Inter News, the north London club, alongside Erik ten Hag’s Manchester United, are prepping a bid for Barella.
There is still a long way to go before the summer transfer window slams shut, but it wouldn’t be a surprise if Barella lands on the door step of an English team this summer.
A player of tenacious quality, energy to burn and outstanding vision, Barella is someone that would be perfect under Jurgen Klopp.
The 26-year-old is hitting the peak years of his career and perhaps getting coached by someone like Klopp will take his game to the next level.
One thing is for certain, he suits Klopp’s system, better than someone like Thiago, and he is tailor-made for the Premier League stage.
