Barella has 1 goal and 2 assist in 31 Seria A games this season. He's supposed to be quite attacking and creative too.
Is that really how far we have sunk?
He was an exciting prospect but his development has stalled somewhat in the last couple of seasons.
He's still young and there might still be a player in there, but it is true to say that we are not likely to be shopping at the top end of the market this summer.
