N. Barella is a 29-year-old central midfielder at Inter, rated 58.9 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 243rd of 385 in the Serie A. An experienced operator, he has been an ever-present this season (80.4% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.31 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Barella.
Judged on this season alone, Barella graded 51 — an excellent campaign that ranks top 9% of the 68 central midfielders in the Serie A, on 3 goals, 8 assists and 2.31 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 43 → 51). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 59, 43rd of 68 of the 68 central midfielders in the Serie A. At 29 Barella is in his prime years, and a market index of 55.7 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Barella missed 3 games through injury (muscle, yellow cards) out of roughly 38 this season. The 34 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Below his 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
2.31 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 13 clean sheets across 34 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 20) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 3 goals and 8 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 58.9, Barella carries the 43rd-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Serie A of 68. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.31 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~101), then tapers with age. At 29, Barella sits on 55.7, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Barella's projected Rating — 58.9 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
