Jurgen Klopp has been hard at work in the transfer market as he looks to build a side capable of challenging on four fronts.
Alisson, Fabinho, Naby Keita and Xherdan Shaqiri have all been added to the squad which reached the Champions League final last season.
Liverpool want further reinforcements though, with a whole host of players still being linked with moves to Merseyside as a result.
La Gazzetta dello Sport reporter Velluzzi says Liverpool are interested in prising Barella away from Cagliari.
Barella made 34 appearances in Serie A as Cagliari beat the drop at the expense of Crotone last season.
