Nicolo Barella is one of the stars of Serie A for Inter and for European champions Italy. The Inter board are trying to advance to renew and improve his contract. The aim is that suitors do not come and persuade him to leave the Giuseppe Meazza. The problem is that this is already happening.
'Corriere dello Sport' reports that Atletico Madrid and PSG are alert to his situation. If the club's bigwigs are not able to reach an agreement with him for him to extend his contract, they could burst onto the scene with a proposal which could make him depart.
In any case, in order to sign him, they will have to put a juicy offer on the table because, otherwise, it is highly unlikely Inter will sell him. His market value is more than 100 million euros, a financial challenge for a club which want to get hold of a very good player in the short and medium term.
Barella's price reflects his current quality and his projection for the future. At just 24, he has shown that he has what it takes to shine on the biggest stages in world football. His numbers last season at Inter saw him score three goals and get a personal best 10 assists in 46 appearances.
