Inter Clear Frontrunners for Highly-Rated Sassuolo Midfielder

The January window could end up being quiet for Inter, but they are laying the groundwork for the summer, especially with Sassuolo. Davide Frattesi is one of their top targets for the future. They anticipate multiple departures in the midfield, and they plan to replenish it with fresh legs.

Matias Vecino, Arturo Vidal and Stefano Sensi are unlikely to be on the roster next season, Calciomercato.com reports. The Uruguayan veteran is on an expiring contract. The Chilean international could be a casualty of their cost-cutting approach. The 26-year-old will soon join Sampdoria. While he will do it on a six-month loan, there is a chance he will stay there for longer.

According to the site, Inter have had multiple contacts with Sassuolo and Frattesi’s agent. The Neroverdi value the midfielder €25M. As it happened with Manuel Locatelli, they are open to fancy formulas to help out the buyer, such as a loan with option to buy. La Benemata have gained a clear edge on Juventus and Roma, who are also interested in Frattesi. They will try to consolidate it in the next few days.

Inter and the Bianconeri are eyeing another Sassuolo gem, Gianluca Scamacca. The race is more open in this case. The Old Lady tried to block the striker for the summer, but their attempt was unsuccessful. The rumored meeting with the Emilian side has been postponed to tend to more pressing January matters, Alfredo Pedullà informs. His price tag is around €40M, and his current team is in no rush.
