Materazzi: Guardiola's interest in Barella for Man City comes as no shock

Materazzi revealed to La Gazzetta dello Sport that Barella, Calhanoglu, and Mkhitaryan are set to start in the upcoming match against Milan on Sunday.

"Did you see Nicolò's performance against Manchester City? It is easy to understand why Guardiola wanted to sign him. In my opinion he is worth as much as Rodri.

"It's a different role, but the level is the same."
