According to FC Inter News, Nicolo Barella does not want to move to Arsenal and is happy at Inter Milan.

It has been reported that Arsenal are interested in signing Barella from Inter in the summer transfer window.

The 23-year-old midfielder joined the Nerazzurri on loan from Italian rivals Cagliari in the summer of 2019.

The loan will be made permanent this summer, as announced on Inter’s official website.

FC Inter News has claimed that the 23-year-old is happy at Inter and does not want to leave, with the Italian giants themselves not willing to sell the youngster.

Stats

According to WhoScored, Barella has made 16 starts and four substitute appearances in Serie A for Inter so far this season, scoring one goal and providing three assists in the process.

The midfielder also scored one goal in four Champions League matches and played 64 minutes in the Europa League for the Nerazzurri this campaign, according to WhoScored.

Football in England and Italy is suspended at the moment due to the global health crisis, and it remains to be seen when the summer transfer window opens.
