Liverpool may have been dealt a possible blow in their reported pursuit of Inter Milan midfielder Nicolo Barella.
The Reds have been linked with Barella ever since the start of the summer transfer window, although no move materialised for the player. Instead, Liverpool opted to bring in Arthur Melo on loan for the season from Juventus.
With Liverpool, or no club for that matter, making a move for Barella, rumours are likely to surface of other sides showing an interest in the player. A fresh report from Italy has now done just that.
