Manchester United have been linked with a move for 27-year-old Inter Milan midfielder Nicolo Barella in recent weeks.
However, Fabrizio Romano has now revealed to Caught Offside that the rumours linking Nicolo Barella with Manchester United are false, and the player is unlikely to leave anytime soon. The 27-year-old has been a key player for Inter Milan, and they will not want to lose him. Replacing him could prove to be very difficult.
Romano claimed, “Despite the rumours linking Nicolo Barella with a €75m move to Manchester United, I have zero information on this. He only extended his contract at Inter just a few months ago, and he’s a key player for them. I don’t even know where this is information is coming from!”
Barella helped Inter Milan win the Serie A title in the 2023/24 season, and there is no doubt that he is good enough to start for Manchester United. He could transform them in the middle of the park.
There have been rumours that Manchester United could look to sign him for €75 million. It remains to be seen how the situation develops. The Red Devils could certainly use someone like the Italian, who can control the tempo of the game and add creativity to the side.
Barella is one of the best midfielders in the world, and he could make a big difference for Manchester United. He could transfom them in the middle of the park and help them control games better. The Red Devils need someone like him alongside Manuel Ugarte and Kobbie Mainoo.
Manchester United need quality signings
Manchester United have started the season poorly, and they need to bounce back in the coming weeks. A club of their stature is expected to push for a top-four finish and domestic trophies. Erik ten Hag is under pressure to turn things around, and quality signings in January will certainly help his cause. It remains to be seen whether Manchester United can bring in the right reinforcements in the coming months.
Meanwhile, if Barella leaves Inter Milan, he will look to join a big club capable of winning major trophies. Manchester United are going through a rebuild, and they are not at the level required to win league titles or Champions League trophies. The move might come across as a step down for the Italian. However, other European bigwigs like Manchester City and Real Madrid are also interested.
