Italian talent engages big clubs

Sky Sport Italy confirmed on Friday evening that Chelsea had made an offer of 50m euros to the Italian, as much as Calgliari asks for.

But, according to Corriere dello Sport, Inter is the first club to have reacted to its owners who have expressed willingness to pay the same amount for Barella.

They also aim to include the attacker Eder, who currently plays at the inter sister club Jiangsu Sunning, and to borrow 19-year-old defender Alessandro Baston, who currently plays at Parma.

Barella turns 22 next month and has already taken over the title in the National of Italy under Roberto Mancini's leadership, so many clubs are showing interest in her.

Italian media record that Naples has not given up on him, and that Manchester Unitedi may join the bidding fight.
