Report: Tottenham emerge with interest in signing Inter Milan midfielder

Tottenham are interested in signing Inter Milan midfielder Nicolo Barella, according to Il Messaggero. 

Spurs are said to be eyeing up the 25-year-old but the report does not reveal the exact extent of their interest or a valuation behind a potential deal. 

TuttoMercatoWeb previously reported Spurs were among a host of admirers in the Premier League, with Antonio Conte keen to secure a reunion with Barella after a successful period together at Inter which yielded the Serie A title. 

However, the same report explained the Italy international’s preference would be to stay with the Nerazzurri, whom he joined permanently from Cagliari in 2020. 

Spurs Web Opinion 

Barella has been a key piece of the Inter squad for a couple of seasons now and it is likely that he will cost a significant amount to prise him away. 

He is very familiar with Conte and it is clear to see why Spurs hold an interest in him. It would be a big addition to their midfield options but given they have added to that position over the last two transfer windows, it seems an unlikely move.
