Euro Paper Talk: Arsenal target offers himself to AC Milan
Inter Milan are chasing a Liverpool target hard, while Leon Bailey’s move to England could be closer and an Arsenal target fancies AC Milan, all in the Euro papers.
INTER CHASE £45m BARELLA
Nicolo Barella is one of Inter Milan’s main summer targets, according to Tuttosport.
Earlier this month La Nuova Sardegna claimed Liverpool had stepped up their interest in Barella after being impressed by the Italy under-21 international’s performances for Cagliari.
With the report claiming Jurgen Klopp will make a move for the 21-year-old midfielder this summer.
Those plans could now be hit by Inter’s interest with the Turin-based paper reporting that Inter want to outbid the other clubs interested in signing Barella.
Barella, apparently tipped to become the “next Nainggolan” is strongly wanted by Luciano Spalletti who is ready to offer the likes of Andrea Pinamonti and Federico Di Marco, plus a cash offer to welcome the services of the talented U21 Italy International.
Calciomercato last month claimed Barella’s asking price had been set at £45million.
