Inter Pose Steep Conditions to Part Ways with Frattesi

Inter were hopeful for an uneventful January window, but the Davide Frattesi situation has thrown a wrench in their plans. The management is getting fed up with the matter to the point that they could nip the problem in the bud and greenlight his sale. However, his valuation is conspicuous, La Gazzetta dello Sport informs.

The player hasn’t asked out directly, but his agent is getting busy, which has irked the Nerazzurri brass. As far as Serie A is concerned, the Scudetto holders would be open to sending him only to Roma for €45/50M. Napoli and Juventus are long-time admirers of the midfielder. The price tag would be €70M for them. It basically means that a transfer is off the table.

Inter don’t want makeweights in the Frattesi deal. They could evaluate Bryan Cristante, who has become expendable, but only on loan as a patch for six months to fill the new hole. He wouldn’t be a long-term solution. His inclusion wouldn’t lower the cash portion of the package. Both players are represented by Giuseppe Riso.

Giallorossi director Florent Ghisolfi was spotted in Milan on Thursday, which fueled the chatter. However, there was a league meeting there on Friday.

Our Take on Inter, Frattesi, and Roma

It’d be pretty stunning if the Nerazzurri gave up one of the few players they splurged on in recent years just because his agent is doing his job. There’s a larger opening for the capital club than last summer, but it’d be a stunner if they pulled off such a big-money deal in January. Still, where there’s a will there’s a way, and their resources can’t be underestimated.
