Nicolò Barella it is not a market regret. He never touched the blue: Napoli had blocked him, true, there was an economic agreement with Cagliari, but he, Barella, has always had theInter and he knew that the esteem was reciprocated.
The blue company was serious for him when he was giving up Allan to the Psg. But Barella, who was already worth fifty million, would have said no, he wanted to wait until June for the Nerazzurri.
Napoli really tried, but in vain. Without the silent court of Inter, perhaps, today, the Sardinian midfielder, one of the strongest Italians of his generation, would wear the blue. It would have been a great blow, one of many of de Laurentiis. But Napoli hadn’t come to terms with the charm, history and tradition of the Milan club. Tomorrow Barella will face Napoli only as an opponent in the stadium that could also have been his.
