Exclusive: Liverpool on 'high alert' to 'yard sale' as 'coming days' crucial to finances of selling club

Inter Milan are in financial peril and this could see key players sold while Liverpool are keeping a close watch, with our sources being told that the coming days should bring developments.

Thes are in financial peril and as Forbes has covered in-depth, player sales might be the best way for them to get back into the black.

Emmet Gates writes: "The club’s Chinese owners, Suning, have been hit hard by the global pandemic, and sold 23% of the company’s shares to state-owned investors in a bid to improve its ‘equity structure’.

"Suning, who bought Inter in 2016 and have invested an estimated $845 million, have been actively seeking to sell the club, at best, or trying to sell a minority share of the club, at worst.

"According to a report from Bloomberg, Inter’s total debt now stands at around $602m, with the club posting 2019/20 revenues of $448m."

While I wrote an article about how the rapid right-back could reinforce three positions at Anfield, he is not of interest to Jurgen Klopp even if the German does admire the player.

We've already covered Liverpool's interest in Nicolo Barella and while we have no new info regarding their intentions, Anfield Central has been told that they are keeping a close eye on development at San Siro.

They're also monitoring Lautaro Martinez and Roberto Gagliardini although the former is valued very highly by Inter and so will be difficult to sign even with their precarious finances.

That said, Jurgen Klopp can do a lot better than a player that made just 14 starts during his side's championship-winning season.

Aside from 20 days in isolation due to COVID-19, Gagliardini was fully fit which is an indication of how little his own manager, Antonio Conte thought of him and so if the Reds are going to sign an Inter Milan midfielder, it needs to be Barella in my opinion.
