Liverpool are keeping tabs on Cagliari midfielder Nicolo Barella
Barella, 20, burst onto the scene for Cagliari this season, making 25 appearances in all competitions for the Serie A outfit.
And his talents have been noticed with The Sun claiming Liverpool are considering a summer move for Barella.
It is claimed manager Jurgen Klopp sent scouts to watch the Italy Under-20 international during Cagliari's 1-0 defeat to Fiorentina last weekend and his spies came back with glowing reports.
Klopp is keen to bolster his ranks in the summer and is renowned for signing youngsters with huge potential and nurturing them into stars.
