It remains to be seen if the Merseyside giants will make an official approach for the Italian international. If they decide to sign a player of Barella&#8217;s calibre, he would be a great addition to the Anfield midfield alongside Mac Allister.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Read More<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">:\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2023\/06\/04\/liverpool-adrian-contract-extension\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Liverpool Now Set to Announce In-House Deal for \u00a358,000-a-Week Player<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Barella is an exceptional midfielder and arguably one of the best deep-lying playmakers in Europe. He also provides a goal threat, which he has shown at club and international level. He is comfortable receiving the ball in tight areas and rarely looks flustered. His work rate is one of his best attributes, alongside his creativity and flair, which would make him a fan favourite at Anfield.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Photo credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/footpicshd\/51295760184\/in\/photolist-2m9Qbom-2ot2G8i-2m91gmY-2matg4S-2mauWjL-2maprhS-2m9Qbkq-2m3kMrD-2nps2Vb-2npqGVi-2m9Mqvp-2npppNB-2npqG3G-2npjaYd-2jxbvXe-2m95JSQ-2kJzRoD-2m95Az1-2jyChaS-2ouJHJD-RZpXLC-2m7P6CW-2npqH3n-2mzrLP2-2mt6R5m-2ouLncB-2naKV9Z-2ouF9wf-2ooUALC-2oGTbTe-2ndU1bX-2ouL2c8-2ouJYCX-2d4JPrf-2npj3eW-2ouJ3Xh-2ouJHwp-2m4RRdz-2ouLn1j-2ouHMDB-2ooUAQv-2oGRxkc-2ndNweJ-2ot7Eu6-2oGKGbr-2ouL6AB-2ndU1e7-2oGLxNP-2ot5Aun-2ouJHsX\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Football Pictures\u00a0from Flickr<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/2.0\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span class=\"cc-license-identifier\">CC BY 2.0<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to\u00a0Fabrizio Romano, Liverpool are not finished in this transfer window after the signing of\u00a0Alexis Mac Allister.
