Moussa Dembele’s possible arrival at Inter will not stop them from pursuing Nicolo Barella but could affect when the Cagliari youngster joins the Nerazzurri as per a report from Corriere dello Sport.
Dembele’s arrival could open up the opportunity for Inter to get creative in how they land Barella and it could ultimately knock a few million off his €40 million price tag. Inter could look to sign Barella this summer but leave him in Sardinia for a further season to allow him to continue on his current growth path with the Rossoblu. As well as doing this, Inter could add some young players in to the deal to further bring his price down.
The 21-year-old midfielder has asserted himself as one of the top Italian prospects and has garnered plenty of interest from clubs for his continued good performances for Cagliari, who he is under contract with through to the end of the 2021/22 season.
