Premier League sides Liverpool and Manchester United remain interested in signing Inter Milan midfielder Nicolo Barella, according to Calciomercato.

Hard Tackle cite the Italian report: “According to a report from Italian outlet Calciomercato, Premier League bigwigs Manchester United and Liverpool are keen on signing Inter Milan midfielder Nicolo Barella in the ongoing transfer window.

“The midfielder is garnering a lot of attention after his exploits with club and country, with Manchester United and Liverpool both showing an interest in securing Barella’s services this summer.”

Do Liverpool & Man United need Nicolo Barella?

Liverpool have lost Gini Wijnaldum to PSG as a free agent and they are yet to sign a replacement for the outgoing central midfielder.

Manchester United, on the other hand, have a plethora of midfielders in their first-team squad right now but they are still not sure if Paul Pogba will sign a new deal or not.

The Frenchman will become a free agent next summer and if he decides to leave then Barella will be the ideal replacement for him.

Inter Milan ready to sell Nicolo Barella?

Inter Milan have already sold Achraf Hakimi and they are on the verge of letting Romelu Lukaku join Chelsea.

And after losing two of their biggest players, we are not sure if the Serie A side will be eager to sell Nicolo Barella as well.

Yes, Inter are under a severe financial crunch but they will gather a lot of funds from these two massive sales so they should be able to hold onto the 24-year-old midfielder.

TransferMarkt currently values Nicolo Barella at £58.5 million and he still has three more years left on his current deal. And given that Inter Milan paid £30 million for him last year, the Serie A side will be reluctant to hold onto him as long as they can.
