Davide Frattesi’s situation at Inter Milan has become a point of contention, with the player’s agent, Beppe Riso, meeting with the club’s sporting director Piero Ausilio to discuss the midfielder’s limited playing time.
Frattesi, a regular starter for the Italian national team, has found himself largely confined to the bench at Inter this season. The 24-year-old has started only six Serie A matches out of 36 appearances, completing the full 90 minutes just twice.
Tuttosport report that discrepancy between Frattesi’s roles for club and country has prompted his agent to voice concerns. Riso stated, “We talked about Frattesi and other things. Are there offers for Davide? It’s normal, it’s not a market discussion. We were reasoning about other things.”
Frattesi’s situation could be further complicated by the anticipated arrival of Piotr Zielinski, potentially reducing his playing time even more. Currently, Frattesi is behind Calhanoglu, Mkhitaryan, and Barella in the midfield pecking order.
Despite scoring 8 goals in 42 appearances across all competitions, Frattesi has struggled to secure a regular starting position. The player has not publicly complained about his situation, but his agent’s meeting suggests a desire for more opportunities.
While there are no current transfer requests or offers, the discussion appears to be a pre-emptive move to safeguard Frattesi’s interests. The player, who could potentially start for many top European clubs, is seeking reassurances about his future role at Inter.
In related news, Inter are also dealing with other transfer matters. Oristanio, linked with Genoa, reportedly prefers a move to Venezia for better playing prospects. Venezia is also interested in goalkeeper Stankovic, while discussions about Tessmann are ongoing. Decisions on Carboni will be made after the Copa America, and Stabile is set for a loan move, with Alcione, Renate, and Albinoleffe showing interest.
