Chelsea told £45m target Barella is going nowhere as Cagliari stand firm

Blues boss Maurizio Sarri is desperate to add to his attacking options but an Italy international currently starring in Serie A may be out of reach

Chelsea target Nicolo Barella will not be leaving Cagliari this January, according to the Italian club’s sporting director.

Goal revealed recently that the Italy international is a £45 million ($58m) target for Blues boss Maurizio Sarri, who is desperate to reinforce his midfield options.

Chelsea are also hot on the heels of Zenit St. Petersburg's Argentina midfielder Leonardo Paredes - as confirmed by Goal - as they look to fill the gap left by Cesc Fabregas.
