Many Liverpool fans believe the club should sign a new midfielder this summer to weather the injury crisis the Reds are going through.
Inter Milan's Nicolo Barella has often been named as one of the best-suited players to Liverpool but Fabrizio Romano has shut down rumours of him moving to Anfield.
"There’s been talk of long-term interest from Liverpool in Inter Milan midfielder Nicolo Barella, but unfortunately it doesn’t go much further than that, Reds fans," Romano told Caught Offside.
"So far, there are no proposals or negotiations between Liverpool and Inter Milan. Barella extended his contract with Inter a few months ago and the club sees him as the captain of the future.
"I think it’s a more than difficult deal for this summer so we’ll see what happens in the future; for now Barella is only focused on Inter Milan."
