With just a few days left in the January transfer window, most clubs are looking to bring reinforcements to strengthen their squad. English Premier League leaders Liverpool are no different as they look to improve their squad depth.

The heart of the matter
It is crystal clear that Tonali is generating wide interest across all top clubs in Europe due to his caliber. Liverpool sent scouts to keep a watch on the 18-year-old and the teenager is valued at £30 million.
According to the report, Liverpool are desperate to replace an ageing James Milner and Adam Lallana in the January transfer window. Liverpool will face tough competition for Sandro Tonali, who is wanted by Juventus, AC Milan, Inter and Roma
