The 29-year-old has netted just one Serie A goal this term, a stark contrast to his nine goals and ten assists from the previous campaign. Reports suggest Inter might listen to offers next summer, while Italy coach Gennaro Gattuso is reportedly concerned about Barella's decline, casting doubt on his participation in the upcoming World Cup play-offs.
Davide Frattesi is also facing scrutiny after managing only three assists in 24 appearances this season.
