Revealed – Man City Approached Inter Milan Superstar This Summer Before Contract Extension | OneFootball

Man City approached Inter Milan midfielder Nicolo Barella during the summer transfer window.

This according to Italian transfer journalist Nicolo Schira. He reports that Barella soundly rejected the Cityzens’ interest to instead extend his contract with Inter.

Barella signed a new contract with Inter during the summer transfer window.

The former Cagliari midfielder extended his deal until the end of June 2029.

This was a hugely important extension from Inter’s perspective. Barella committed his future to the Nerazzurri for the long term.

And Barella is a player who has had plenty of transfer interest in recent years.

In 2022 Arsenal, Newcastle United, and Manchester United showed interest in bringing Barella to the Premier League. Liverpool are also long-term admirers.
