Exclusive: Chelsea and Man United target close to being Inter's first summer signing
Barella has become one of Europe's most wanted midfielders thanks to his performances for Cagliari. He also made his debut for the Italian national team this year, attracting interest from a host of Premier League clubs.
We understand that Inter are very close to signing Barella and there is already a rough agreement between the two players for a possible deal in the summer.
Barella has already met and talked to Luciano Spalletti and the presidents of the two clubs have already met and talked about the transfer in January. These good relations mean that Cagliari have agreed to accept a fee that is lesser than their desired fee for other clubs.
Inter see Barella as the present and the future. He is their priority in the summer and they are close to signing him already.
