Manchester City have approached Nicolò Barella in recent months over a potential transfer, Nicolo Schira reports. The Internazionale midfielder is highly regarded by City manager Pep Guardiola but reportedly doesn't wish to leave Italy just yet. As such, the 27-year-old signed a new deal with Inter Milan earlier this month, tying him down until 2029. Barella has been at San Siro since 2020, playing over 180 times for the illustrious Serie A club. It remains to be seen whether City will now turn their attention to other midfield targets in January.
