Inter Milan midfielder Davide Frattesi has found himself at the center of transfer speculation as Roma expresses interest in bringing the Italian international to the capital. However, Inter have made it clear they have no intention of selling the player, despite his desire for increased playing time.
Calciomercato report how Frattesi, who joined Inter last summer, has seen limited action in the opening matches of the season, playing just 42 minutes across games against Genoa and Lecce. This lack of playing time has prompted his agent, Giuseppe Riso, to explore options that could provide more opportunities for the 24-year-old.
Roma’s interest is spearheaded by manager Daniele De Rossi, who is a known admirer of Frattesi’s talents. The Giallorossi have reportedly considered including Bryan Cristante as part of a potential deal, but Inter has shown no interest in such an arrangement.
Inter’s stance remains firm – Frattesi is not for sale. The club views him as a crucial part of their future plans, regardless of his current playing time under manager Simone Inzaghi. Inter’s management has communicated this position clearly to both the player and his representatives.
It’s worth noting that Juventus had also made inquiries about Frattesi’s availability. However, their primary target has always been Atalanta’s Teun Koopmeiners, a deal which appears to be progressing.
While Roma’s interest persists, their financial constraints make it difficult to pursue Frattesi without including player exchanges – a scenario Inter is not entertaining. As the transfer window nears its close, Inter faces the challenge of managing Frattesi’s situation delicately, balancing the player’s aspirations with the club’s long-term vision.
