Barella's Form Raises Concerns for Inter, Italy

Inter Milan and Italy national team are growing concerned over Nicolò Barella's declining form, with the midfielder scoring only once this season and failing to contribute in the Champions League.

Nicolò Barella has raised concerns for both Inter Milan and Italy coach Gattuso after a disappointing season, scoring just one Serie A goal and failing to register a goal or assist in the Champions League. The 29-year-old's form is a significant drop from his previous season where he contributed 19 goals and assists.

Reports suggest Inter might consider offers for the midfielder next summer, while Gattuso is reportedly 'concerned' about Barella's decline, potentially jeopardizing his place in the upcoming World Cup play-off squad. Davide Frattesi is also facing scrutiny with only three assists in 24 appearances this season.
