Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester United are all interested in Nicolo Barella, as Inter Milan could be forced to sell their star midfielder.
According to Fichajes, Nicolo Barella features on a list of players that Inter Milan could plan to sell to solve their financial issues. Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester United are all interested in the 27-year-old Serie A-winning midfielder, as there could be a battle ensuing in the background ahead of the summer.
Premier League trio are keen on Nicolo Barella
Nicolo Barella could leave Inter Milan despite being one of their top performers in a Scudetto-winning season. The 27-year-old Serie A-winning midfielder could be forced out to balance the club’s financial situation, with Arsenal among those keen alongside Manchester United and Liverpool.
Liverpool had shown an interest in the 27-year-old even last summer, but Inter Milan were adamant about keeping him, and their decision was undoubtedly the right one. With their financial situation deteriorating, Inter Milan might consider offers coming in for the Italian international, as they are aware of the growing interest.
Manchester United are one of the other suitors, with INEOS looking for statement signings ahead of the summer. Barella will undoubtedly fit their midfield requirement, as the Red Devils need a significant presence in the middle heading into the next campaign. Arsenal’s name is surprising because while they are in the market for a midfielder, Barella’s profile may not suit their requirement, but this could be an opportunity.
Inter Milan set for a clearout?
Inter Milan are deep in financial trouble, as they have debts and interest payments that could force them to sell some of their top performers. For instance, Manchester United are willing to pay well for Denzel Dumfries, while they are also keen on Barella.
Exciting teenager Valentin Carboni could also depart, with Aston Villa keen on the Argentine. Alessandro Bastoni, Marcus Thuram, and Barella are the others, in addition to Dumfries, and the players Inter could consider offers to ease their financial crisis ahead of the summer.
There is an expected fan backlash if they begin proceedings and start finding suitors for those players mentioned above. A few years ago, the clubs sold Achraf Hakimi and Romelu Lukaku for the same reasons.
