In a surprising turn of events regarding Inter Milan’s transfer dealings, it has emerged that the club came dangerously close to losing their midfielder, Nicolò Barella.
According to Nicolò Schira on X, the talented midfielder attracted serious interest from Manchester City.
Schira reported, “Behind the scenes – Manchester City had contacted Nicolò Barella in recent months. Pep Guardiola rates him highly, but the midfielder was determined not to leave Inter.”
Barella’s decision to remain at Inter was pivotal, spurred by his own desire to continue at the club.
As a result, he has opted to extend his contract until 2029, reinforcing his long-term commitment to the Nerazzurri.
