Inter Milan's ultras have denounced transfer speculation surrounding Nicolo Barella after Liverpool, Newcastle United and Chelsea were all linked with the midfielder.
The Italy international has been subject of reported interest from the Premier League trio. Jurgen Klopp has previously spoken of his admiration for Barella and he is looking to bolster the Reds engine room following the departure of three first-team midfielders.
Khephren Thuram is currently one of the main targets for Liverpool boss Klopp but the Barella rumours are not going away. The gossip columns also suggests Newcastle are looking to break their club record transfer to bring the 2020 European Championships winner to St James' Park. While it emerged last night that Chelsea want to offer Romelu Lukaku as a makeweight to bring Barella to Stamford Bridge.
However, Inter's ultras have taken a stand, issuing a hands-off message to possible suitors for the man who played a key part in Simone Inzaghi's side reaching the Champions League final in Istanbul this month.

As per Gazzetta dello Sport, on their Instagram account they posted a story of Barella with the caption: "A born Inter fan. Present and future. Untouchable."
Barella is currently contracted with the Serie A giants until 2026. And while the Italian outlet claims that Liverpool have been scouting the 26-year-old for a long time, and that Newcastle have offered €60m for his services via an intermediary, they add that there are no concerns from the player or his club over a departure and that it could cost as much as €90m to prise him out of the Italian league.
