Newcastle United and Manchester United have received a massive boost in their pursuit of Inter Milan midfielder Nicolo Barella.

Inter Milan’s early exit from the Champions League was a massive blow for the club, not just from a sporting perspective but also from a financial point of view. They have missed out on a significant amount of revenue and will now have to find different ways to balance their books.

The Italian giants are all set to sell some of their most valuable assets this summer, and according to a report from Fichajes, the Serie A outfit are ready to cash in on Nicolo Barella. It’s a massive boost for Newcastle United and Manchester United, who are both keen on his signature.

Barella has been a part of the Inter setup since 2019. He has only gone from strength to strength over the years. The 29-year-old is widely regarded as one of the best midfielders in the world. While he prefers playing as a central midfielder, he is capable enough to feature in any role in the centre of the park.

Premier League duo can sign Barella for €70 million

The Italian international remains one of the first names on their team sheet, and he still has over three years left on his deal. But he is set to part ways with the club this summer, amidst interest from Manchester United and Newcastle.

Barella is one of the most valuable assets of Inter, and they are ready to cash in on him to balance their books and revamp their squad. They have set an asking price of around €70 million for the 29-year-old. Both Premier League clubs could easily match the Italian club’s demands.

The Red Devils want to bring in someone who can help better control the tempo of the game, and with Casemiro leaving, Barella’s experience could come in handy. Meanwhile, the Magpies want to further strengthen their midfield rotation by signing someone like the Italian international.

The Tyneside club have a long-standing interest in him and see this as a great opportunity to sign him. While both clubs continue to closely monitor his situation, Inter Milan are hoping for a bidding war between the two clubs to drive up the final price.
