Inter midfielder Nicolo Barella will be looking for a big performance in tomorrow’s derby against AC Milan as he looks to justify the faith put in him by the club with a new contract.
This according to today’s print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, who highlight the importance of a display worthy of his qualities in the vital head-to-head with the Rossoneri.
The timing of Barella’s contract extension is significant, with the 24-year-old having committed his future to the Nerazzuri and sent a signal about his long-term ambitions immediately ahead of one of the great occasions of the club’s season.
By securing the 24-year-old’s future until 2026, the Nerazzurri have warned off the interest of top European clubs in the midfielder, and shown a great deal of faith in the player who has even been suggested as a potential future captain at the club.
Meanwhile, the derby against AC Milan tomorrow will not only be one of the major games of the Nerazzurri’s season, but also a tremendously significant moment in their season as they look to catch the team who are currently seven points ahead of them in the table.
For the occasion Inter will be counting on a major contribution from their key midfielder who has just made clear that he wants to keep impressing at the club.
