In an interview with Calciomercato.it Vincenzo Rispoli, the agent of Francesco Bardi, comments on rumours linking his client to Barcelona: “Francesco is being followed by scouts from a number of European clubs, and I have also heard – although from inofficial sources – that one of those clubs is FC Barcelona”, Rispoli said.
“Personally I have had no contact whatsoever with Barcelona, partly because the player has a contract with Inter and I always respect these things. If Barcelona are interested, they should contact Inter. Francesco is very happy to play for Livorno and also to be a part of Inter. These rumours are certainly flattering, I would be a hypocrite to say otherwise. I think that Inter and Livorno also see these rumours as proof that Bardi already is a goalkeeper of extreme quality at the age of twenty-one. Francesco is a very calm person however, he does not allow himself to be distracted and he is happy with what he has achieved so far”.
