Paris Saint-Germain is showing an early interest in Inter Milan midfielder Nicolo Barella, according to a report from the Italian-based outlet Corriere dello Sport (via TuttoMercatoWeb).
The report also notes that Barcelona is another club that is monitoring the Italian midfielder. Barcelona has reportedly asked for further information on the Italian talent. But for the moment, PSG nor Barca have been reported to show any serious interest in pursuing Barella over either of the upcoming transfer windows.
Nonetheless, the early interest from PSG and Barca in Barella may not come as much of a concern to Inter Milan. The report adds that Barella is not for sale, as Inter Milan instead has its sights set on reaching an agreement with him on a contract extension deal.
Barella joined Inter during last year’s summer transfer window on a season-long loan deal from Caligari. The loan agreement between both clubs included an obligation to buy, which was officially triggered over the recent summer transfer window. Barella logged 41 appearances for Inter in all competitions last season.
