Liverpool have been linked with a move by Inter Milan midfielder Nicolò Barella. It seems a mystery who will be the next player to arrive through the Anfield goal.

The signing of Alexis Mac Allister was announced even before the official start of the summer transfer window. Argentina’s 2022 World Cup winner has been recruited by Brighton and Hove Albion for what initially appears to be a bargain price of £35m.

Having scored 10 goals for the Seagulls in the Premier League last season, it’s understandable that Mac Allister is appreciated for Liverpool.

But Kopites understands all too well that one midfielder will not be enough. At least one more mid-park addition is needed, especially after the departures of James Milner, Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.

Then consider the Reds’ mediocre 2022-2023 season, in which the engine room was heavily scrutinized.

There are certainly enough names related to each other. Jürgen Klopp might prefer someone who has yet to reach his prime but has already shown potential in abundance. Khephren Thuram, Gabri Veiga, Ryan Gravenberch and Manu Kone all fall into that category.

Liverpool have reportedly been courting the Inter Milan star for several months. While he may be several years older than Thuram et al, it would mean the 26-year-old is more likely to fit neatly into Klopp’s system.

Last season, Barella recorded an impressive nine goals and 10 assists in 52 appearances to help Inter reach the Champions League final.

And even though the Serie A side were beaten 1-0 by Manchester City in Istanbul, the Euro 2020 winner was praised for Italy’s performance. Indeed, Klopp has already spoken of his admiration for Barella.

Liverpool faced Inter Milan in the quarter-finals of the Champions League in the 2022-23 season. Barella, on the other hand, was excluded from both races, having to serve a two-match disqualification. The Reds actually benefited from the 2-1 aggregate finish that took them to the round of 16.

And before Liverpool’s 2-0 victory in the first leg at San Siro, Klopp made no secret of the vote he gave to Barella. He said: “It’s not a bad thing for us that Barella can’t play!

“He’s a great player, a great player. I like him a lot. He’s got everything you want in a midfielder. He’s aggressive, he’s technical [good], he can run for a long time and everything in between.

“So he’s a top player. But – I’m not 100% sure – the replacement will probably be Arturo Vidal. So this is the experience at its best. He has played at the top level everywhere and I think Arturo is very motivated in these matches, so I’m not so sure if he is such an asset to us that he plays instead of Barella.”

What could dissuade Liverpool from signing Barella is his price. Premier League rivals Newcastle United were reportedly keen to sign academy product Calgari for £50m.

He comes nowhere near Inter’s valuation, however, with The Independent suggesting it would cost £80m to sell Barella. Regardless of what happens, Klopp will likely be watching closely if Barella actually moves to the Premier League before the transfer window closes.

Patrick Dorgu, a talented 18-year-old, will soon be signed by Liverpool.

Liverpool are reportedly interested in Lecce talent Patrick Dorgu and the Reds are preparing to sign the 18-year-old

According to CalcioMercato, the Merseyside giants are ready to strike for the Nigerian-born Denmark youth international, who guided Lecce to the Primavera title last season, the highest accolade an academy player can win in Italy.

Dorgu hails from the famed FC Nordsjaelland academy and only moved to Lecce last summer, where he played exclusively for the U-19s, making 38 appearances in total and scoring four goals. And now Liverpool are interested.

Hailed as an “exciting” talent by the New Telegraph, Dorgu appears to have caught the eye of Liverpool scouts as the Anfield side seek to bolster their academy ranks with young talent from across Europe, the Danish teenager apparently being an option.

In fact, a deal for Liverpool could well be a possibility given how profitable a Premier League bid for a Serie A side like Lecce is. And for Dorgu, the player himself might be interested in moving to England already in his career.

Liverpool should go all out to sign Dorgue this summer

Dorgu is clearly a player with some potential as the defender played a key role in Lecce winning Italian football’s biggest youth award this season. And with Liverpool firmly in the market, a move to sign the defender should already be on the cards.

While Liverpool are blessed with a range of left-back talent, few have the international experience or pedigree like Dorgu, who himself could relish the chance to play at a higher level and at a club with as many players. good facilities as Anfield Giants training.
