Barella’s Form Worries Inter and Italy

Inter midfielder Nicolò Barella has scored just one Serie A goal and recorded six assists this season, while ending his Champions League campaign without a goal or assist. The 29‑year‑old’s output has fallen sharply compared to his 2022‑23 tally of nine goals and ten assists.

Both Inter and Italy coach Gennaro Gattuso have expressed worry over Barella’s dip in form, with rumors that the club may consider offers for him next summer and his call‑up for the upcoming World Cup play‑off remains uncertain.
