He shone in the Champions League and now Chelsea and Liverpool are fighting over an 80 million star

Premier League clubs Liverpool and Chelsea have been linked with a possible move to secure the services of talented midfielder Nicolo Barella from Inter Milan. At just 26 years old, he has become a key figure for both his club and national team in recent seasons, and his outstanding performances have not gone unnoticed by English teams.

Liverpool is in a desperate situation to bolster their midfield. Players like James Milner, Naby Keita, and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain have left the club on free transfers, forcing the Reds to look for new midfielders to strengthen their squad.

While their attempt to sign Jude Bellingham was unsuccessful, Liverpool has managed to secure the services of the talented World Cup winner, Alexis Mac Allister. However, the addition of Barella would be a significant upgrade to Liverpool's midfield, bringing creativity and control.

The situation is similar for Chelsea, as they are expected to lose key players like N'Golo Kanté and Mateo Kovacic during this summer. The Blues need to find a reliable partner for Enzo Fernandez, and acquiring Barella would be a quality addition. At 26 years old, Barella is at the peak of his career and could have an immediate impact in the Premier League.

They want to return to the top

The opportunity to play for renowned clubs like Liverpool and Chelsea could be very attractive to the Italian international. Although these teams did not secure a top-four finish this season, they have ambitious squads and top-level coaches in charge.
