After the tournament he had, it was inevitable that Chelsea would end up being linked with Nicolo Barella, and today we’re starting to see the evidence of that.
SempreInter quote Corriere della Sera, who are reporting that the Blues are keen to bring in the all action midfielder to bolster Thomas Tuchel’s midfield.
The Blues were linked with Barella long ago in the Sarri days, when he was still tearing it up at Cagliari.
Since then he’s developed into a really important player for the national team and for Inter, and he played a key role at the Euros as Italy lifted the trophy.
The 24 year old is establishing himself as one of the top midfielders in the world, and Chelsea will be kicking themselves that they didn’t make the swoop back in 2018.
If they do sign him this summer, he’s going to cost a hell of a lot more than he did back then.
