The consecration of the Nerazzurri was completed in Monaco, today among the best in his role. Requests from the premier to Arabia
Where you turned all over a 23. Of heel and peak, like a dancer who sweetened his steps and enchanted companions, opponents, fans, all. Pure Ligabue, spotted in the stands surrounded by the Bayern red scarves. Even his agent, Alessandro Beltrami, who loses a few of them, very few, since Monaco was only a dream for his Nicolò, at most a goal, certainly not a garden to think of dominating the scene. When Nicola Berti crashed Bavaria crazy, Barella was not even remotely in the thoughts of his parents. Yet at the Allianz, Tuesday evening, it seemed to see him again, galloping with victory destination. He thinks that strange: when you say to the Munich stadium to the metro station, at a certain point he crosses the iron barriers, of the pedestrian bollards. Here, on one of those barriers, an Inter fan thought well to attack a sticker with just two words, a name and a surname: Nicola Berti. As if to remember, just in these parts where midfielders mean enough, that Inter have always had a heart that beats there in the middle. And it is a golden heart.

And then Scroll the Specialist Transfermarkt site and find out one thing. Find out that among the central midfielders around the world, obviously excluding from the ranking the midfielders who are like blond women – by force of things have a major appeal -, more than a stretcher who is listed 80 million euros only in five: Valverde, Rodri Golden Ball, Pedri, Rice and Mac Allister. Well: we feel like taking a step further. We feel to say that, he went to the market today, Nicolò would be valued at three -digit. And we don’t say it, it is what Inter thinks: can it be worth less than 100 million, one like this? Because it has never been so strong, so full, so continuous even in the quality put in place, not only on the presence that in truth it was never a gap. Certainly, Barella is today the most precious Italian footballer. And what, imagining a transfer, would mark an absolute record, widely exceeding that primacy currently detained by tonals that two years ago was sold for 59 million euros.

It is no coincidence that Nicolò touched his best in front of Bayern. We also told it in the Gazzetta by presenting the challenge, that the midfielder has always overflowed for the Bavarians and that only for them would really think one day to leave Inter. Here, we hope that between one beer and another to the Germans it will never come to mind. That the assaults of foreign clubs are in vain like the Arab ones, read the Hilal, still willing to make follies to convince him to take a one -way flight to Riad. And for Follie there is a salary per season from 35 million euros. Also not. Even not, like the answer that Nicolò gave Guardiola how much he tried to take him to Manchester City. And like the one that is ready again to give next summer, because on him the premier continues to push (Liverpool above all). This man who came to the world in 1997 planned everything in his life. Even its growth. It was seen at Inter and Inter arrived. And then the national team. And then the Scudetto, the European Championship, the second star, series cups, the captain’s band often and willingly worn. It is now in the midst of its football explosion. He is an advanced midfielder, very different from the one who reached Inter in 2019. And yes that Marotta and Ausilio pushed even thoroughly then, investing 37 million fixed part plus another 8 bonuses. Today Barella is a midfielder, an incursor, a director, a mezzala. He is an architect and a worker together, the appetizer and the dessert. It is many things and all beautiful. It is quality and continuity: only in the first Nerazzurri year he went under the seasonal 3,500 minutes (just because of a knee injury that kept it out for six games). Usually footballers always say they have margins for improvement. The margin that Nicolò feels he has is certainly the space on the bulletin board for the Champions League. And the one in the cellar for a great French wine to be built for the occasion. After all, it is right to collect dreams too. Or not?
