Barella, aged 26, stands out as one of the foremost midfielders in global football. This dynamic Italian has earned Serie A’s midfielder of the year title for both the 2020/21 and 2022/23 seasons, cementing his place by being consistently included in the last five Serie A teams of the year.
Liverpool has held a profound admiration for Barella for quite some time. Jurgen Klopp expressed his regard for Barella back in 2022, during a Champions League fixture between Inter and Liverpool, where Barella was absent due to suspension. Klopp mentioned, “That Barella is not able to play is not bad for us.”
“He’s a really good player, a really good player and I like him a lot. “He has all the things you want from a midfield player.”
“He is aggressive, he is technical, he can run for ages and all these kinds of things.That’s a top-class player.”
Barella remains contracted with Inter until the summer of 2026. This would typically imply that the Italian club holds a strong position to rebuff any attempts to acquire their midfield linchpin.
Nevertheless, recent reports from Spain suggest that Liverpool, Newcastle, and Chelsea have all shown interest in Barella, eyeing a potential move next summer. According to a fresh report from L’Interista, Simone Inzaghi’s Inter is earnestly striving to prevent a scenario akin to what happened with their city rivals AC Milan, who lost Sandro Tonali to another club last summer.
