Nicolo Barella is a key player for Inter and his role in midfield is very solid in organizing attacks for his teammates. His specialty is of course as a box to box midfielder which is very rare for other players and therefore Inter is very right to give him a contract extension. If not for that, Inter would also find it difficult to control their midfield.
This step was definitely taken at once so that other teams could not touch Nicolo Barella and I am very sure that not a few top European teams are interested in him. Nicolo Barella is like he was born for Inter so he will continue to play with Inter until his contract ends.
Consistent performance in this season appearance 37 of 38 matches in Serie A make Nicolo Barella become priority and its good decision by Inter Milan extend his contract until 2029. In this season, Nicolo Barella just absent one match only in Serie A and he play well as holding or attacking midfielder for Inter Milan.
Some top European teams interested with Nicolo Barella but management looking forward with opportunity loss their top players by renew his contract until five years later.
Nicolo Barella still on the golden age around 27 years old and he has potential five years later become favorite players for Inter Milan and his performance consistent lack injury make management no doubt giving him long term contract duration.
