Inter Milan’s financial situation means they will be open to offers for any of their players, including Nicolo Barella, according to Calciomercato.it.
The Italian website claims that the 25-year-old could be offloaded in order to balance the books, with both Liverpool and Tottenham keeping an eye on his situation.
Barella has been consistently linked with the Reds over the years, although no formal approach has ever been made, but fans on Twitter are still hoping that the midfielder will end up at Anfield:
Dream signing. Keep in mind, when we supposedly bid for Valverde, Caicedo and Bellingham this summer, his name wasn’t mentioned, at all. Brozovic, his teammate, was mentioned as solid interest. Barella glides into our midfield. Him and someone like Thuram, summer window =perfect.

Reports over the summer suggested that Jurgen Klopp’s side may offer around €70m (£63m) for the Italian international but, like most rumours, nothing came of it.
Respected journalists have suggested that Barella is a player that is admired by Liverpool, but he is unlikely to be the club’s main target. Borussia Dortmund’s Jude Bellingham is believed to be the priority with work already underway to persuade the 19-year-old to snub other potential suitors in favour of a move to Merseyside.
