“I believe that the goal against Juve has consecrated Barella as the best Italian player”. Words and music by Gigi Riva, who thus definitively pinned the ranks of top player to Nicolò Barella. And today, remember the Corriere della Sera, Barella represents the best investment for the future of Inter and the national team of Roberto Mancini, who sees in him the star of the next European Championship. To the point that its value has skyrocketed well beyond the 45 million spent by the Nerazzurri for the card two summers ago. The renewal of the contract is being prepared for him with a retouching of the salary from 2.5 to 4.5 million. And in the future plans of the Nerazzurri club there is also the delivery of the captain’s armband.
Massimo Rastelli, his coach at the time of Cagliari, defines him as a “Carlos dunga with the feet of Rui Costa“, while for Arrigo Sacchi Barella is “the prototype of the modern footballer, he knows how to attack and defend”. Atypical off-pitch footballer, wine lover, Barella undoubtedly represents “the perfect soldier for Antonio Conte“.
