Liverpool could face competition from AS Monaco in their pursuit of Cagliari star Nicolo Barella, according to reports from the French media, as cited by Calciomercato.
The Ligue 1 giants are believed to have expressed an interest in landing Barella ahead of the January transfer window, with the player becoming increasingly sought after.
Liverpool have been heavily linked with the Italy international, who has established himself as an important part of Cagliari’s plans for both the present and the future.
Barella is a crucial member of Cagliari’s first-team and it’s unlikely that the Serie A club would welcome his sale in January. However, it seems interest is building ahead of the mid-season transfer window.
Liverpool have long been touted as a potential destination for Barella but it seems they will face plenty of competition in their pursuit of the young central midfielder.
Barella, 21, has made 10 starts in Serie A this season and has found the net on one occasion.
