Having arrived as a talented, all-action box-to-box midfielder, Barella has grown into a player who does it all in the midfield battle for Inter.

That Scudetto was the seventh trophy Barella has won with the Nerazzurri.

Barella’s previous contract had been set to expire at the end of June 2026.

The Italian international had signed that deal in the autumn of 2021.

However, Inter have been working to tie the 27-year-old down on a new long-term deal. They would certainly have no intention of losing such a key player.

There has been plenty of transfer interest in Barella should there be any hint that he be available.

Last summer Arsenal and Manchester United showed interest in bringing Barella to the Premier League. Manchester City and Liverpool are also long-term admirers.

But Barella’s desire has always been to stay at Inter, by all accounts.

Therefore, the negotiations have gone smoothly. Barella has signed a new deal with Inter.

Barella is likely to be an important player for Italy at the Euros this summer.

The Inter midfielder had also featured prominently as the Azzurri won the last edition of the tournament. He started throughout the knockout rounds, including in the final against England.
