AC Milan in great need of a talented central midfielder that can challenge Lucas Biglia and Kessie for a starter place in the rossoneri formation.
At this Serie A start of the season, several interesting young players are making a name for themselves. Among these is the talented Nicolo Barella, central midfielder of Cagliari. A 20 years old midfielder of high quality and quantity. Against Torino he scored his second goal in the league this year while playing in all the matches so far.
His performances have not gone unnoticed and now the Italian top clubs are on his tracks. AC Milan’s interest is not recent: the rossoneri have followed him closely with their scouts and are in the front row. Signing a central midfielder is top priority in Casa Milan and Barella possesses the right identikit. But beware of the usual Juventus. The bianconeri are always very active on young Italian talents. As reported by Calciomercato.com, the Serie A reigning champions could move in anticipation and book the 20 year old in advance considering the good relationship with Cagliari. They intend to proceed with calm but the fight with AC Milan is going to be surely fierce.
Tommaso Giulini, president of the Sardinian club, keeps him tight. He knows he has a possible business deal in his hands and hopes to start an auction. The starting price is 15 million, but from here in January it can only rise and reach 20 million. AC Milan and Juventus are therefore the most interested clubs: monitoring the situation are also Inter and Walter Sabatini, the current Nerazzurri manager, had already inquired for him in the days of Roma. In January concrete moves will be made from all the interest teams.
