Manchester United have reportedly held phone calls over a possible move for Nicolo Barella.
The Italy international has been a key part of Inter's midfield unit since joining them from Cagliari in 2020 after a loan spell at San Siro. But financial problems with the Milan club could force them to offload some key players, and Newcastle are said to have already made an approach.
But while their Champions League qualification is a huge pull, Gazzetta dello Sport claims United are Barella's ideal destination. The report adds that 'interested phone calls' have been made from Old Trafford, although any offer will need to be around €80million plus add-ons.
