Concerns grow over Barella's form for Inter and Italy

Inter and Italy are growing increasingly concerned about Nicolò Barella's dip in form, which has seen him score only once this season.

Barella finished his Champions League campaign without a goal or assist, and his numbers are significantly down from his 2022-23 season. Reports suggest Italy coach Gennaro Gattuso is worried enough to question Barella's availability for next month's World Cup play-offs.

Additionally, Tuttosport indicates that Inter might be open to selling the 29-year-old midfielder next summer, mirroring concerns previously noted by La Gazzetta dello Sport.
