Inter midfielder Nicolo Barella valued at no less than €100m Italian media claims | OneFootball

Within the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, Inter midfielder Nicolò Barella portrayed a master-class performance, providing stability in the midfield and dictating the tempo of play on the counter through his immaculate passing ability and remarkable technique when in-possession.

His impressive display proved pivotal as his work ethics enabled Inter to dominate in the central area of the pitch and and his fluidity and vision was the core foundation of the Biscione’s last-gasp winner in Munich, finding Carlos Augusto with a sublime ball out-wide for the Brazilian to drive it back for Davide Frattesi, handing coach Simone Inzaghi’s side a 2-1 advantage on aggregate as they head into the second leg in Milan.

La Gazzetta dello Sport indicates that  although his current market value is around the region of €80m, the Nerazzurri should deem the former Cagliari midfielder as untouchable and a fee of at least €100m should be required for Inter to even considering letting go of their star midfielder.

The 28-year-old immediately turned down Al Hilal’s lucrative offer of €35m per-season as he feels happy at Inter. In addition, Barella also turned down the opportunity to join Spanish tactician Pep Guardiola at Manchester City.

Although, it remains to be seen if that sentiment could last as Premier League giants Liverpool are monitoring Barella, showing a great deal of interest ahead of the upcoming season. Though, negotiations in luring Barella to Anfield will certainly be very tense,
