Newcastle United Transfer News: Barella has been at the centre of transfer rumours recently and the new emerging rumours are linking him to a Premier League move
Newcastle United is creating a stir in the transfer market as they want to bolster their team in preparation for the next campaign. According to reports, the club is working really hard to negotiate an incredible deal for Inter Milan’s dynamic midfielder, Nicolo Barella. The deal could cost up to £50 million as Barella is viewed as one of Inter’s key players.
Nicolo Barella played a pivotal role in Inter Milan’s success last season, helping the team secure victories in domestic cup competitions and reaching the final of the Champions League. Newcastle United, who place a high priority on improving their midfield options, have shown a lot of interest in the 26-year-old Italian midfielder. Newcastle views Barella as the ideal addition to their team and an improvement over Jonjo Shelvey in order to enable Bruno Guimaraes to play higher up the field.
According to several reports, talks between Newcastle and Inter Milan have been more intense recently, indicating a deal is close. Before the transfer can be completed, though, several technicalities must be sorted out.
In addition to giving the team a major boost, Barella’s probable arrival at Newcastle would be a symbol of the team’s rising ambition and capacity to draw elite talent. In order to boost the team’s performance, manager Eddie Howe has been outspoken about his intention to sign “elite players” rather than divide the funds evenly across the roster.
Newcastle United is committed to signing Nicolo Barella, but doing so would necessitate making other compromises. Newcastle and Leicester are apparently getting closer to agreeing on a transfer fee compromise as the club continues to pursue James Maddison of Leicester City.
Negotiations are going well, and Newcastle wants to get the outstanding midfielder, despite Leicester’s original £60 million demand. However, Tottenham Hotspur’s opposition adds another level of intricacy to the situation.
The previous two years of Nicolo Barella’s performances have made him one of Europe’s best deep-lying midfielders. He offers expertise and skill to the pitch with his 43 international caps for Italy.
Barella is skilled at orchestrating plays from the back, but he also has the ability to score goals. In 35 league games for Inter last season, he scored eight goals, and he added three more during their Champions League run. He is a perfect fit for Eddie Howe’s vision and playing style due to his unwavering work ethic and toughness.
If Newcastle is successful in acquiring Barella and perhaps Maddison, the team will need to look for value in other parts of the roster to make room for other players. Felix Nmecha, a midfielder for Wolfsburg is one player of note. The 22-year-old has flexibility and would probably cost between £12 and $15 million.
Newcastle is also keeping an eye on players from recently relegated teams in the hopes of finding bargains. One of the fascinating candidates being explored is Southampton’s Kyle Walker-Peters, a versatile fullback who can play on both the left and right side of defense.
