Newcastle United are reportedly interested in signing Inter Milan midfielder Nicolo Barella.
The 29-year-old Italian international has had a very good run with Inter Milan and has also proven his quality at international level. He has been a key player for club and country for many years and it will be interesting to see if he is willing to move to the Premier League now.
He is at the peak of his career and may be the perfect time to take on a new challenge. SportsBoom report that Newcastle are looking to add more quality and depth in the middle of the park and the Italian has been named as a target.
Manager Eddie Howe is a fan of the Italian player and Newcastle could test the Italian club’s resolve with a £40m offer in the summer. Whether they can complete the deal remains to be seen. They have the resources to sign ambitious projects and players. However, you will have to convince him that you can give him a platform to fight for the trophy.
Meanwhile, they will also face competition from Crystal Palace. The Eagles are also keeping tabs on the Italian player. However, convincing players may be difficult. They are not at the level needed to compete for trophies and Oliver Glasner is also set to leave the club in the summer.
It remains to be seen what decision the players will make if they are presented with a concrete proposal after the season. Newcastle need more control and creativity in the middle of the park and the signing of the Italian would be exceptional. It will be interesting to see if Sandro Tonali can convince his compatriot to join the English club.
