Transfer market expert Gianluca Di Marzio has confirmed that both Milan clubs are keen on signing Cagliari’s Nicolo Barella as he appeared as a guest on Sky Sport 24.

“Nicolo Barella is a very sincere guy and has confirmed his thoughts on his future but dealing with Cagliari president Tomasso Giulini is not easy at all,” he remarked.

“Inter manager Luciano Spalletti likes him but Inter have still not taken any concrete steps toward signing him. While Milan director Leonardo has already spoken to Giulini. It is necessary to understand if the Rossoneri will decide to make another blow in that area after having spent so much for Lucas Paquetà and with the pending redemption of Tiemoue Bakayoko, without forgetting the situation of Giacomo Bonaventura too.”

This season Barella, who seems destined for a bright future at the highest level, has made 29 appearances across all competitions for the Rossoblu, scoring once and assisting twice.
