Liverpool are trying to sign a midfielder in the final hours of the window but it proves a difficult task, according to Fabrizio Romano.
The credible reporter has ruled out Nicolo Barella and Konrad Laimer joining the Reds this summer.
"The club do not want to sign just any player for the sake of it, so they are still putting in a lot of work trying to identify the right kind of player," Romano told Caught Offside, as quoted by Empire Of The Kop.
"However, even though they’re continuing to do their research, at the moment, there are no easy options.
"Konrad Laimer was appreciated but RB Leipzig will not let him leave now, so Liverpool will have to explore other names from now until tomorrow night’s deadline.
"I know a lot of you want to know if Inter Milan’s Nicolo Barella is an option, but unfortunately, he is not. There is no chance for the Italian to move to Anfield this summer."
