According to reliable Italian newspapers La Gazzetta dello Sport and Il Corriere dello Sport, United and Arsenal are tracking the 21-year-old Cagliari talent man Nicolo Barella. The Serie A outfit are not willing to part ways with the rising star for less than €50 million.


According to various reports, Napoli have already tabled their bid, offering €20 million fee plus Marko Rog and Adam Ounas to convince the Sardinian club.

However, as per La Gazzetta, the player himself is eager to move Inter Milan, who are believed to be in the race for his signing as well.

When asked about a potential club switch back in October, the hot talent insisted he would only leave for football reasons, denying money could lure him away from Cagliari.

"If and when I have to leave, it will never be for money, but only for ambition. I do not care about Ferrari or the super penthouse," Barella told Calcio Mercato.

"I take my whims, but I do not play football to buy myself a beautiful car. I've always had the desire to have a family, perhaps because I have so many cousins, Federica is the right woman and that's why I married her."
