Nicolo Barella moved from Sardinian side Cagliari to Inter in 2019 on loan, and then joined permanently in 2020. Over that time he has now made 53 Nerazzurri appearances despite still being just 24-years-old.
He scored an excellent goal in Italy’s quarter-final victory over Belgium to make it 2-0 to Gli Azzurri. He has formed part of a formidable midfield containing himself, Paris Saint Germain’s Marco Verrati, and Chelsea’s Jorginho who is now being touted as a possible Ballon d’Or winner.
