Inter’s bargaining position in talks for Nicolò Barella was strengthened today after Roma’s sporting director Gianluca Petrachi confirmed the Giallorossi are out of the race.
Gazzetta dello Sport’s Nicolò Schira tweeted this evening to confirm Cagliari now ‘have their backs against the wall’, because the Nerazzurri are the only interested club left.
Beppe Marotta and Piero Ausilio have offered €36+4 million for the 22-year-old and could increase the add-ons slightly.
“Inter will not let Cagliari grab them round the neck,” Schira said.
Barella has agreed a five-year deal worth €2.5 million per season.
Dopo le parole di Petrachi il #Cagliari è con le spalle al muro: #Barella vuole solo l’#Inter (ha accordo per quinquennale da 2,5 milioni a stagione). Nerazzurri non vogliono farsi prendere per la gola: 36 mln + 4 di bonus. Possibile l’inserimento di ulteriori premi senza rilanci
