Read Liverpool’s verdict

Tonali would be a great signing for Liverpool, but there could be several factors that hamper a deal.

Firstly, Sport Witness reports that the Italian side will demand over €50 million for the midfielder, which could put Liverpool off spending so much money on a player who isn’t guaranteed to start.

Also, with Juventus in the race, Tonali may just prefer a switch in Italy.

The midfielder possesses great passing ability, with a 74.8% successful pass percentage, with Tonali also possessing great ability from set pieces.
