Liverpool make contact with target’s club

Liverpool may not be need of much cover in midfield, but that is not stopping them from looking for players, and now, the club has been linked with young Sandro Tonali. The Brescia player is a dynamic holding midfielder who is seen as one of Italy’s top teenage talents, and his club’s owner Massimo Cellino revealed that the Reds were on among a host of clubs asking about the starlet.
“Yes, Roma asked me for Tonali,” Cellino told Italian newspaper Corriere dello Sport. “But I have to keep him as long as possible. Is he ready? I do not know, he’s 18 years old. But a little while ago, Liverpool also contacted me.”
Liverpool are keen to beat their competition, which includes the likes of Roma, Juventus, and AC Milan, to the 18-year-old Italy Under-19 midfielder, who has also been compared to the legendary Andrea Pirlo.
