Chelsea ready to make £60m move for Inter midfielder
Chelsea are reportedly exploring the possibility of a £60million bid for highly-rated Inter Milan midfielder Nicolo Barella this summer.
The 24-year-old played a major role as Antonio Conte’s side recently claimed their first Serie A title in 11 years. Indeed, he featured in 35 league matches Inter and was named in the Serie A Team of the Season for the second successive campaign.

However, Inter’s success is expected to spark a transfer scramble for some of their top names. That includes the likes of strikers Romelu Lukaku and Lauturo Martinez, centre-back Milan Skriniar and Barella.
The Italian giants also need to balance the books, as they continue to feel the financial effects of Covid-19.
Italian publication Leggo claims that Barella is ‘in the sights’ of Chelsea, with advances being made. But this is not the first time the Blues have shown an interest in the talented midfielder.
