Liverpool sent Nicolo Barella message after Jurgen Klopp's midfield claim

Steve McManaman doesn't think Liverpool will bring any new signings into the squad despite calls by some fans for a new midfielder to be signed this summer. Inter Milan's Nico Barella is one player who has been linked with a move to Anfield alongside long-term target Jude Bellingham.

Jurgen Klopp broke his silence on the calls for a new signing as he leapt to the defence of the current midfielders in his squad. The German also hinted at a potential move for Bellingham next summer, when Dortmund are thought to be more willing to sell.

Meanwhile, McManaman, who made 364 appearances for Liverpool in a nine-year spell with the club, doesn't believe that Italian midfielder Barella is a realistic signing for the Reds as things stand.
