Nicolo Barella’s transfer to Manchester United has reportedly been discussed with Inter Milan.
What are the most recent Man United transfer rumours?
In spite of the ongoing takeover saga at Old Trafford, it appears that the Red Devils are geared up for a busy few months in the transfer market. A brand-name attacker or a new custodian could be among the many additions to Erik ten Hag’s squad.
But it appears that Ten Hag and United want to improve in the midfield, particularly now that Scott McTominay has informed those at Old Trafford that he wants to leave and Fred has been linked with a transfer to Fulham.
Mason Mount of Chelsea is one midfielder who Man United seem to be frantically trying to sign. Personal terms have already been agreed upon with the England international, but negotiations with their Premier League rivals have so far been challenging.
Chelsea rejected the first £40 million bid from Manchester United, and they also rejected a revised £50 million offer. Declan Rice of West Ham is another player that Man United is interested in, and they are prepared to compete with Arsenal for his services by making a player-plus-cash offer.
With a new development over the past 48 hours, a move for Barella appears to be one to watch along with Mount and Rice.
News about Man United and Barella was recapped by Sport Witness from the Gazzetta dello Sport in Italy. They claimed that Old Trafford representatives had initiated contact with Inter Milan through “interested phone calls.”
Inter Milan is seeking at least €80 million in advance of a potential deal, making a move to Manchester ‘far more attractive’ than one to Newcastle.
The person Nicolo Barella.
Barella, once hailed as “top-class” by Jurgen Klopp, is primarily a central midfielder but can also fill in for holding or attacking midfield positions when necessary. With a career-high €75 million Transfermarkt valuation and a current weekly salary of £154 000, the 26-year-old player appears to be at the height of his abilities.
Following a productive loan from Cagliari, the Italy international moved permanently to Inter in 2020. Since then, he has made 187 appearances for the Champions League finalists, contributing 20 goals and 44 assists in the process.
The player ranks in the 92nd percentile for progressive passes and non-penalty goals and the 89th percentile for carries into the final third, as per FBref, showing how he can create, score, and dribble. Barella has been dubbed a “monster” in the media due to his energetic performances, and United may view him as the ideal box-to-box midfielder to play alongside Casemiro and Bruno Fernandes.
