Roma aim to add a quality midfielder in the final days of the window and are very keen on Davide Frattesi, but their dated interest is unlikely to lead to anything substantial. Inter have no intention of selling the midfielder, even though he wouldn’t mind playing more, Calciomercato informs.
The Italian international has logged just 42 minutes in the first 2 games. He contributed to turning the tide versus Genoa, providing a slick assist for Marcus Thuram. The Nerazzurri are aware of his uneasiness as they have had multiple meetings with his agent Giuseppe Riso, but they want to keep him.
Roma are willing to insert Bryan Cristante in the Frattesi deal so Inter wouldn’t have to look for a replacement. However, the Italian champions have no desire to discuss such an operation. They have refrained from bringing in veterans this summer.
Juventus had inquired early on too. They were quickly rebuffed and have been focusing on signing Teun Koopmeiners. The 24-year-old was signed for €34M from Sassuolo. The offer would have to be very large for things to even move past preliminary stages.
Our Take on Roma and Frattesi
They should have acquired him a couple of years ago when they had the chance. Their proposal isn’t half bad, as he’s a luxury for the Nerazzurri, but the monetary portion of the deal would have to be conspicuous to be enticing, and they have already spent a lot this summer. The midfielder would have to blatantly ask out for his exit to become a possibility, but he’s not that unhappy.
