Nicolo Barella has been a name linked with Liverpool for a few years already, and for a good reason, too - the midfielder is one of the key players for Inter and Italy.
With Liverpool keen to strengthen their midfield, he's been in the rumours again - and transfer news guru Fabrizio Romano believes the interest is still there.
"At the moment Inter have not received any official bid from Newcastle [for Barella]," Romano said on his YouTube channel.
"It’s also important to say about this deal that Inter will not sell the player for £50m, this is not the case.
"On Barella, I would also keep an eye on Liverpool. Because Liverpool have always been following the player. Jurgen Klopp has always been a big fan of Barella. And so, let’s see what happens at Liverpool.
"We know they’re now busy with Khephren Thuram, with Manu Kone, Gabri Veiga. They are speaking to agents of many midfielders because they will sign at least another important midfielder this summer, but they’re also informed on the situation of Nicolo Barella.
"Clear to say that Barella is, we know, a big Inter fan, has a long term contract at Inter, he’s very happy at Inter and Inter are very happy with Barella. So when you see that proposal, £50m for Barella, this is almost impossible. But, in case of a crazy proposal we have to check and see. But at the moment the situation is still quiet despite many, many rumours."
