Chelsea join the race for Cagliari's midfielder Barella

Cagliari want at least €50m for 21-year-old Italian midfielder Nicolo Barella. This is the request from the Rossoblu president Giulini for the player. In fact, €50m is a starting point and he wants solely cash - no technical counterparts. In the Serie A, two clubs are after the player: Napoli remains the team most interested, but they want to include some of their players in a deal whilst Milan are also following his trail after contact between Leonardo and Giulini (excellent relationship between the parties) yesterday. From the Premier League, Sarri's Chelsea have joined the race as a potential suitor after a first inquiry carried out in recent weeks.
