Tommaso Giuliani, president of Cagliari, has made his thoughts clear on the future of Barella while he was leaing the Lega's offices, saying: "It seems disrespectful to me for Cagliari to talk about an auction. With Inter we have a fixed agreement from June 11th, which I think is the most important thing in any negotiation, and there was only bonuses left to discuss. But 20 days have passed and I don't know if they are still interested in the player."
"In the meantime a more important proposal from Roma arrived and we closed with them, we are satisfied. Now I think it's fair that the boy takes two days to decide his future. He has never been tied to anything and has never had an agreement with anyone, he is taking a few days to evaluate the new situation. We hope that the matter is closed soon."
