Barella's dip in form worries Inter and Italy

February 26, 2026 · Yahoo Sport

Inter and Italy are growing concerned over Nicolò Barella's form after he netted just once this season and finished his Champions League campaign without a goal or assist.

The 29-year-old has scored only one Serie A goal this term, a stark contrast to his 9 goals and 10 assists from 2022-23. Reports suggest Italy coach Gennaro Gattuso is 'concerned' by the decline, casting doubt on Barella's participation in next month's World Cup play-offs.

Additionally, La Gazzetta dello Sport notes Inter might listen to offers for Barella next summer, while teammate Davide Frattesi has also struggled with just three assists in 24 appearances this season.
