Per <a href="https://www.gazzetta.it/Calcio/Calciomercato/Inter/15-02-2024/inter-barella-al-rinnovo-no-al-city-e-prolungamento-i-dettagli-dell-accordo_preview.shtml?reason=unauthenticated&amp;origin=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gazzetta.it%2FCalcio%2FCalciomercato%2FInter%2F15-02-2024%2Finter-barella-al-rinnovo-no-al-city-e-prolungamento-i-dettagli-dell-accordo.shtml" target="_blank">Gazzetta dello Sport</a>, Barella has agreed terms on a new deal that will tie him to the Italian club until 2029, and also raise his salary significantly. He currently earns €6m (£5m/$6.5m) per year as his net annual salary but his new deal will see that rise to €7m (£6m/$7.5m). Barella had significant interest from the Premier League but has instead opted to stay in Italy.

WHAT HAPPENED?

<a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/man-city-bernardo-silva-replacement-liverpool-newcastle-nicolo-barella/bltd987288a27397f71" target="_blank">Manchester City reportedly made an approach to sign the midfielder in the summer</a>, as did <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/newcastle-stunning-50m-deal-inter-nicolo-barella/bltc0fd7a3e965a25a0" target="_blank">Newcastle</a>, as they both attempted to strengthen. Inter rebuffed any approaches, though, and the Italy international has remained a key player this season, making 31 appearances in all competitions.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Barella's current deal ends in 2026 but Inter have now tied him down, and he will continue to form a key part of Simone Inzaghi's side. He has made a total of 218 appearances for Inter, and has also won 51 caps for Italy.

DID YOU KNOW?

Barella's new contract will provide Inter with a welcome boost. They are currently top of Serie A and beat Salernitana on Friday night.
