Cagliari midfielder and Liverpool target Nicolò Barella has admitted that he would be interested in moving to a Premier League club in the future.
The 21-year old central midfielder, who plays for Cagliari, has impressed in the Serie A this season.
The Reds would face heavy competition for Barella’s signature, with Arsenal having sent scouts to watch him in action. Along with the Gunners, other interested parties include; Roma, Juventus, Manchester United, Inter Milan and AC Milan.
However, any side will need to pay around €50million if they wish to sign the Italy international – the valuation raised by Cagliari president Tommaso Giulini.
While Barella says he is happy with Gli Isolani, he would be tempted by a move to England. Talking to Gazzetta dello Sport, as reported by Tribal Football, Barella said:
Cagliari has received offers and rejected them. I am glad that I am still playing for the club that I am a supporter of.
I feel at home here. In consultation with the chairman, we have chosen to ignore the proposals.
I have not even considered them, Cagliari has always been my first choice.
If I had to choose between the Serie A and the Premier League, I would go for England because I love the way they approach the game.
