235 appearances and 22 goals in five years, now the renewal. Nicolò Barella he is a ‘fundamental pivot’ for Simone Inzaghi’s team and yesterday he renewed his contract with Inter until 30 June 2029, with a salary of 6.5 million euros per season plus bonuses. This is the statement from the Nerazzurri club: “Internazionale Milano announces that it has reached an agreement for the contract extension of the player Nicolò Barella: the midfielder born in 1997 will be Nerazzurri until 30 June 2029”.
These are his words: “Today I am extremely happy and excited to sign the extension of my contract with Inter for so many years. I have never had any doubts: I believe in this project and, above all, I wanted this signature to arrive before European championship. I am really proud to be able to defend the colors of this great Club for a long time to come. My desire is to continue on the path of success that we have undertaken in recent years with the group and the coach give more joy to our fans. We experienced some unforgettable moments with them, and I’m sure there will be many more. Now I’m focused on the European championship with Italy, we’ll see each other soon when the season resumes. I can’t wait to start again in front of the wonderful Nerazzurri crowd, all together for Inter.”
Yesterday on the pitch with the Azzurri. Out of action since last Monday, the Inter midfielder returned to test the pitch and today carried out differentiated work which was not limited exclusively to the gym. Now it’s a race against time and if tomorrow – three days before the match against Albania – Barella increases his workload by also returning to work with the team then there will be a good chance of seeing him on the pitch. Otherwise he will return against Spain.
