Last summer, Cagliari allowed Nicolò Barella to join Inter Milan on a season-long loan deal with an obligation to make his transfer permanent.
It’s now claimed ‘London is calling’ as Arsenal have set their sights on the midfielder.
This is according to FcInterNews, who state the Gunners are looking for a young, quality player in the heart of the pitch and have turned their attention towards the 23-year-old.
It’s claimed the north London club courted the Italy international when he was at Cagliari.
The chances of Mikel Arteta’s side completing the deal are limited because of Barella and Inter’s stance.
Even though FcInterNews claims ‘London is calling’, Barella ‘will not answer the call’ from the English club because he’s is doing well and happy at San Siro.
In addition to this, Inter’s owner Suning Holdings Group consider him fundamental to their project at the club.
In other words, there’s no opening for the player’s sale and also no room to start negotiations for his transfer.
That’s Arsenal told.
