Lots of Liverpool fans have been reacting to a transfer round-up from Goal, which claims the Reds have watched Brescia wonderkid Sandro Tonali.
According to Goal’s report, the Reds are not expected to do further business in January after the signing of Takumi Minamino from Red Bull Salzburg.
However, they are already looking ahead to potential summer deals, with Sevilla defender Diego Carlos and Borussia Dortmund star Jadon Sancho.
The club have also been keeping an eye on 17 year-old Wigan forward Joe Gelhardt, as well as Tonali, who has shot to stardom in Italy over the last 12 months.
Aged just 19, Tonali already boasts three Italy caps, and has started 18 times in Serie A this campaign.

The defensive midfielder has been likened to Andrea Pirlo while saying himself he modelled his game off Gennaro Gattuso’s grit.
Per Whoscored, he averages 1.2 tackles, 1.4 dribbles and 1.9 key passes per game in the Italian top flight this season, so he certainly has the same box-to-box tenacity that Gattuso had.

Wouldn’t mind Tonali. If Gini is gonna leave (as reported) then we need a CM. Fabian and Milinkovic Savic should be looked at.
