Former Liverpool players Steven Gerrard and Peter Crouch were full of admiration for Liverpool midfield transfer target, Nicolo Barella after he helped Inter get a 2-0 win in the Champions League semi-final against AC Milan.
“He did really well against the England midfield – your Jude Bellingham’s and your Declan Rice’s," said Gerrard.
“He’s at a good age as well, coming into his prime and it’s a big night for him coming up against one of his team-mates in Sandro Tonali and it will be interesting to see who comes out on top as we know the midfield area is so important.”
Crouch added: “Yeah, he was crucial in the Benfica games. He’s got great feet, tenacious as well and is decent in the tackle. The first game he was the difference. There’s many, many admirers, Liverpool being one at the moment.”
