Liverpool could be set to bolster Jurgen Klopp’s squad in January as Serie A side Inter Milan may be prepared to sell several of their stars. The Italian club is facing financial difficulties, which could mean that their players are available for the right price in the January transfer window.
Calciomercato claim that Inter will need at least one large sale before next season, and that no player is “untouchable” at the San Siro. That includes stars Nicolo Barella, Alessandro Bastoni and Lautaro Martinez, and the report has linked Liverpool with the midfielder.
Barella is “very popular” in the Premier League according to the report, which has credited Klopp’s side with “concrete” interest in the 25-year-old. The Reds’ midfield woes have been highlighted by injuries this season, as Thiago, Jordan Henderson, Naby Keita, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Curtis Jones and Fabio Carvalho have been sidelined at some point this campaign.
The Merseyside club opted to bring Arthur Melo in from Juventus on a season-long loan on transfer deadline day to boost their options in the middle of the pitch, but the Brazilian has been unable to make an immediate impact as he is still getting up to the required fitness levels.

Klopp has previously admitted he would like the club to take more risks in the transfer market. “Let me say it like this, from time to time, I would like to risk a bit more – but I don’t decide that,” Klopp said in August. “We have a great team and we will really try to squeeze everything out of this season.”
“I am not careful, we get told what is possible and what isn’t. That’s it. In this range we try to work it. There’s no criticism, we became champions in a season when we didn’t sign anyone.
“We have an existing team as well. All the players we have here, we want to be here. I want to develop the club, the squad and be successful.”
