Fabrizio Romano has revealed he doesn’t know where information on Manchester United aiming for the £63million transfer of Nicolo Barella is “coming from”, amid links to Manchester City.
United made the signing of Manuel Ugarte in the summer to cover a midfield position. However, with the contract of Christian Eriksen expiring, and Casemiro underwhelming and being linked away, the Red Devils will want to land some new midfield stars.
Recent reports suggested that Barella was a target, with United plotting a €75million (approx £63m) approach for him.
However, trusted transfer insider Romano has rubbished those claims, suggesting he has heard absolutely nothing of the sort.
“Despite the rumours linking Nicolo Barella with a €75m move to Manchester United, I have zero information on this,” he told The Daily Briefing
“He only extended his contract at Inter just a few months ago, and he’s a key player for them. I don’t even know where this is information is coming from!”
