Juventus and Inter might consider a bombastic swap between Federico Chiesa and Davide Frattesi to address their respective issues. The Bianconeri would have to add cash to the deal, as the midfielder has a higher valuation, TuttoSport informs.
The Nerazzurri have been looking for a pacey attacker but have struggled to offload players. They have already started to track the attacker ahead of a possible Bosman move in 2025. On the other hand, they’ll be thin right away up front. Mehdi Taremi and Marko Arnautovic picked up a thigh problems, and Lautaro Martinez will get back to work very late after winning the Copa America.
Juventus have been shopping Chiesa for a few weeks, while Inter have rebuffed all inquiries for Frattesi. However, the midfielder would like to have a bigger role. He’ll have to compete with Piotr Zielinski as well this season. The situation is far from escalating, but it’s simmering.
The Old Lady would have to offer at least €10M to sweeten the pot. The Scudetto holders paid €34M, plus €4M potential add-ons, to sign the 24-year-old from Sassuolo.
Our Take on the Juventus, Inter, Frattesi, and Chiesa
It’d be a double move that would benefit both teams technically and even the players, like the rumored swap with Napoli with Giacomo Raspadori. However, it’s extremely unlikely to happen, as the top Serie A teams aren’t as pragmatic as the Premier League ones, which have no trouble doing business with each other if it suits their needs. Instead, Italian ones are more suspicious and pay too much attention to the noise. It wouldn’t be surprising if an exec quickly came out to dismiss the whole thing.
