Barcelona, Manchester United 'interested in Nicolo Barella'

Barcelona and Manchester United are reportedly among a number of clubs interested in signing Inter Milan midfielder Nicolo Barella.

The 23-year-old spent the 2019-20 campaign on loan with Inter from Cagliari before completing a permanent move to San Siro during the recent transfer window.

Barella has been in impressive form for Antonio Conte's side this season, contributing four assists in nine appearances in all competitions.

The Italy international has a contract with Inter until June 2024, but according to FCInterNews, Barca and United are both weighing up offers for the central midfielder.

The report claims that Conte's team are attempting to extend Barella's contract for a further year, but a number of teams in England and Spain, including Arsenal and Liverpool, are closely monitoring developments.

The Italian has scored four times and registered 12 assists in 50 outings for I Nerazzurri.
