Manchester United will rival Liverpool and Newcastle United for Nicolo Barella, with Inter Milan eager for him to stay.
According to Fichajes, Nicolo Barella will have plenty of suitors over in the summer, with Manchester United the latest side to enter the chase. The 27-year-old Serie A-winning midfielder will also have the advances of Inter Milan to renew his deal, although there’s enough pressure from the likes of Liverpool and Newcastle United.
Manchester United enters Nicolo Barella’s chase
Manchester United are looking for a new midfielder and may work out a way to bring at least a couple of them without spending too much on both. There are links to some names that could potentially arrive on the cheap or free transfer, such as Guido Rodriguez, although the club will want a big-name arrival as well.
They have now entered the chase for Nicolo Barella, with the 27-year-old Serie A-winning midfielder already garnering plenty of eyeballs from the Premier League. Liverpool and Newcastle United are already keen, and now the Red Devils’ entry in the race will intensify the pursuit of the Italian international.
The Red Devils are looking to revamp their midfield positions with some current stars, such as Casemiro, Sofyan Amrabat and Scott McTominay, who are likely to leave. There are also chances of Christian Eriksen parting ways, meaning there will be enough room for a name like Barella to enter the frame.
Manchester United will be wary of the considerable asking price Inter Milan will place on the 27-year-old Serie A-winning midfielder, should the circumstances dictate a sale. Barella still has a contract until 2026, which puts Inter Milan in a powerful position despite the growing pressure from Premier League sides.
Barella will decide his future in the summer
Barella must be aware of his growing stature in the game, and indeed, his agent must have made the interest of Premier League clubs as well as that of Real Madrid known. He could have also studied Sandro Tonali’s move to Newcastle United last summer with intent as he enters the phase where Inter Milan will probably offer him a new lucrative deal.
Should Inter Milan shy away from offering a reasonable salary rise to the midfielder, Barella will undoubtedly look at the overtures of Premier League clubs. Teams like Newcastle, Liverpool and especially Manchester United will be open to paying a fantastic pay package should the Italian choose to move to England.
