The "Fichajes" website revealed that the management of Crystal Palace has placed Nicolo Barella, the Inter Milan midfielder, at the top of their summer priorities to strengthen the team's midfield. The English club plans to make an official offer of 70 to 80 million euros to secure the signing of the 29-year-old player, who is under contract with the Italian team until 2029.

This interest is part of Crystal Palace's plan to rebuild the team and achieve a significant leap in the Premier League. At the same time, Newcastle is closely monitoring the player, sparking an intense competition between the two English clubs for the exceptional Italian midfielder.

Crystal Palace aims through this deal to add more strength and distinction to its midfield and enhance its long-term competitiveness. The club is also prepared to increase the financial offer if the sale of one of its young talents provides funding for the deal.

Barella is considered a strategic player in Europe due to his experience and tactical skills. This season, he has scored one goal and provided seven assists in 26 Serie A matches, in addition to 68 international appearances in which he scored 10 goals for the Italian national team, reflecting his significant impact in major matches.

If Crystal Palace succeeds in completing the deal, they will add a player capable of leading the midfield and elevating the team's level in upcoming competitions, reflecting the club's ambition to compete strongly in the next season of the Premier League.
