Didac Aguirre Without Vitinha or Zubimendi, Xabi puts another top-tier midfielder's name on the table
This is the midfielder Xabi has in mind, and he is an absolute star for the midfield
Real Madrid is still considering the possibility of acquiring a new piece to strengthen the midfield. So far, some of the names that have been mentioned are Vitinha or Martín Zubimendi, but the Basque has been ruled out and the Portuguese has a very high price. That's why, according to "Defensa Central", one of the footballers the club likes most is Nicolò Barella.
This footballer from Inter Milan has been one of the key pieces for the Milanese side and now could do the same at Real Madrid. Because of his qualities, he has certain similarities with the play style of Luka Modric, who is recently leaving the white club.
For this reason, the possibility of signing him is one of the absolute priorities for the new coach, who could have him as one of his objectives. However, it won't be an easy one, since, as a key footballer for this team that's in a difficult situation, it could get complicated.
Nicolò Barella's signing is not easy
This player has emerged as one of the best midfielders in the world, reaching a value of about €75 million (about $81.6 million). This positions him as a great reference in the midfield, but a complicated option because of his contract.
At the moment, he has a contract with Inter until 2029, which makes it unfeasible to sign him for free. For this reason, the white team would have to put a significant amount on the table and offer him a long-term project.
At 28 years old, he has everything to become an absolute reference for Madrid, as Modric did in his time. However, they still have to sit down to negotiate with an Inter that's going through a very tough time after losing the Champions League final. In addition to a very questionable performance at the Club World Cup.
Real Madrid will have to find a way to do it
The board will have to work hard to try to secure the services of this player, since it won't be easy. However, knowing Florentino Pérez, he'll surely find a master strategy to try to convince Inter to let this star go.
