Barella aims to develop new style of play at Inter Milan for 2026-27

Nicolò Barella expressed his intention to change his style of play at Inter Milan for the upcoming 2026-27 season. In an interview with Gazzetta dello Sport before the start of the Inter pre-season, Barella acknowledged he needs to adopt a more leadership-focused role following the team's domestic double in the previous season. He aims to play smarter and more conservatively while continuing to support team dynamics, particularly in the absence of Lautaro Martínez. Barella noted the importance of contributing to the team's success as they prepare for the new season and the challenges ahead, including a desire to make significant progress in the Champions League. The team recently welcomed back players Aleksandar Stanković and Petar Sucic for the upcoming season.
