According to Italian outlet Inter Live, Manchester United are keen on signing Inter Milan midfielder Nicolo Barella. The Premier League club are even preparing a bid worth €75 million along with €10 million-a-year wages to acquire his services.
Nicolo Barella has a high reputation
Nicolo Barella has been an integral part of Inter Milan since joining them in 2019. He initially came as a loanee but the club later opted for a permanent move. This signing helped the Italian club a lot in tasting success over the past few years.
Barella played an instrumental role in helping Inter Milan lift the Serie A title last season. He netted twice and provided seven assists in 48 games. He averaged 1.1 shots, 1.1 key passes, and 0.8 dribbles per game (stats via whoscored).
The Italian midfielder is a versatile man who can don any role in the middle of the park. He is technically sound and has great control over the ball. He not only contributes directly to the offensive front but also tracks back to help the side in the defensive section.
Nicolo Barella will bring his quality to Old Trafford
Manchester United have been lacking quality in the midfield for a few seasons. They even brought a few notable names but that hasn’t worked quite well. The club understand the need to bolster their midfield if they want to become a winning squad.
The Red Devils believe Nicolas Barella could be a good fit alongside Kobbie Mainoo and Manuel Ugarte. His experience and versatility will add a lot of value. He should also take less time to adapt in the Premier League given his proven track record.
Manchester United know that Inter Milan wouldn’t let the 27-year-old leave that easily. Hence, they are ready to break the bank apart by offering a lucrative salary to the player. It will be interesting to see how the parties respond to the English giants’ approach.
