According to Caught Offside, Manchester United are the latest club to show an interest in Barella.
They join a healthy queue already including Liverpool, Milan, Roma, Inter and Juventus.
Barella has stated he would love to play in the Premier League, as it suits his somewhat rugged characteristics.
“Cagliari received offers and turned them down. I am happy to have remained with the club I support,” he told La Gazzetta dello Sport.
“If I had to choose between Serie A and the Premier League, I’d go for England, because I like the way they approach the game. Plus everyone there is just as irritable and prone to fouls as me!
“My dream is to get a nice house with a garden and a pool. And to meet Lebron James.”
