Inter Milan are ready to sell Davide Frattesi in January for at least €35 million, with Juventus holding preliminary talks while Newcastle United maintain interest in the out-of-favor midfielder.
Inter Milan are reportedly prepared to sanction the departure of Davide Frattesi during the January transfer window as the midfielder seeks more consistent playing time.
Since the arrival of head coach Cristian Chivu, the Italian international has found himself marginalized, falling down the pecking order behind Petar Sucic and Piotr Zielinski.
Sources indicate the 26-year-old is no longer content with a secondary role and is eager to secure a move elsewhere this winter.
Juventus have emerged as the primary frontrunners, with reports confirming that Frattesi’s agent, Beppe Riso, recently held preliminary talks at the club’s Continassa headquarters.
The Bianconeri view the former Sassuolo man as an ideal fit for Luciano Spalletti’s tactical evolution in Turin.
Regarding the potential switch, reports suggest the player is “open to the idea of joining Juventus” to reunite with a manager who values his specific attacking profile and athleticism.
While Juventus lead the chase, Newcastle United remain in the background after previously exploring a deal during the summer.
Inter have set a firm asking price of approximately €35 million to avoid a significant loss on their investment.
“The Nerazzurri will be reluctant to sell the midfielder to a direct rival,” meaning any domestic deal may require a premium fee or a specific obligation-to-buy structure to satisfy the club’s financial demands.
