Sassuolo midfield talisman Davide Frattesi is garnering attention from all over Europe, let alone Italy, for his stupendous displays in the Neroverdi colors. However, it is another Italian giant who have registered their interest in the 22-year-old central midfielder.
According to Corriere dello Sport, Napoli have joined the race for the signature of Frattesi but it is Inter who remain in pole position for his services. The Partenopei face an uncertain situation with Spanish midfielder Fabian Ruiz, who is being linked heavily with a move to the Premier League with Manchester United, and Frattesi is being eyed as a direct replacement.
