FC Barcelona is behind the new Andrea Pirlo but Italian fans do not want him to go there

FC Barcelona has a lot of problems and needs solutions. If Lionel Messi leaves, the club will need someone to create attacking moves from behind like he does. Frenkie De Jong has been taking that place and he did it very well, so Ronald Koeman wants an extra midfielder to have some balance.

And the chosen one is an Italian midfielder that is compared to Andrea Pirlo. He is very versatile and is one of the best players of his team. But fans do not want him to go to Barça. Inter fans do not want him because he plays there and they do not want to lose the star. The rest do not want him to join them because the club is chaotic and it could be bad for his career, ruining his chances at national team.

That player is Nicolò Barella, who has had great performances for the Nerazzurri. In 29 matches this season, he scored three goals and made 10 assists. However, he would not be cheap, because Inter will not demand less that 60 million euro, having paid 40 to sign him from Cagliari.

But Koeman knows that the money is tight, so he will not try to sign him right now. According to La Gazzeta dello Sport, FC Barcelona is planning on getting him for the next season, or even the next one when the finances get better. Still, the club is very interested in Barella and the attempts to sign him will be there.
