However, one other nominee could also become a Red soon.
WHAT’S THE STORY?
Well, after a stunning season with Inter Milan, Nicolo Barella has been nominated for the prestigious Ballon d’Or award.
The 24-year-old won the Serie A title, before making six appearances as Italy won EURO 2020 – it was quite the year for the playmaker.
It comes after La Repubblica claimed back in July that Liverpool were preparing a €70m (£59m) offer for the midfielder.
If that was true, Jürgen Klopp will probably be quite annoyed to see Barella among the Ballon d’Or nominees, as Inter could now demand a higher fee.
Having said that, he’s worth the big bucks – Inter have a potential superstar on their hands.
