Fans of Liverpool have been reacting to a post on Twitter, which relays reports that claim although Liverpool are firmly in the race for Sandro Tonali, Inter Milan are currently favourites to land the 19-year-old.
According to reports in Italian publication Sport Mediaset (via Football Italia), Inter are reportedly the favourites to sign the midfielder, with the Nerazzurri reportedly offering Brescia €40 million (£35 million) in a bid to beat the competition from Juventus and Liverpool.
In reaction to the reports, which were relayed by Anfield Edition on Twitter, fans of the club have flocked to have their say on the matter, with many suggesting that Liverpool should do all they can to sign the £28.35 million-rated midfielder.
Should Liverpool make a move for Sandro Tonali this summer?

What do we think?
Tonali has been in fine form for Brescia so far this season, with the defensive midfielder scoring one goal and providing five assists over his 23 Serie A appearances, while averaging a WhoScored match rating of 6.96.
While this rating would be impressive as a standalone stat, when it is taken into account that Tonali is just 19 years old, as well as playing for a side that are currently rock-bottom of the Serie A table, the level of his performances appears even more remarkable.
As such, it is no surprise to see how excited many of the Liverpool fans are at the prospect of signing the Italian midfielder.
