As is the case in every window, Sassuolo will have to fend off multiple suitors for their top players, especially Davide Frattesi and Martin Erlic, but they don’t intend to budge in January. They cashed in plentifully in the summer, plus they aren’t in a very comfortable spot in the standings, Tuttomercatoweb informs.
The star midfielder has been on Roma’s radar for a long time, and he admitted that he’d like to move to his boyhood club one day. Even though they’d have a discount on the fee to a previous sell-on clause, the Giallorossi don’t seem in position to splurge during the winter. Napoli are also keeping tabs. Their director stated that they were fielding requests from abroad. Brighton, Tottenham, and West Ham have inquired, the publication informs.
Erlic is as in demand as Frattesi, but Sassuolo have no plan to sell either since he’s been with them for just six months. He’s their lone representative in the World Cup, although he’s a backup for Croatia. Inter and Borussia Dortmund have probed about his availability, but the Neroverdi shut the door.
The Emilian side is poised to register further massive profits once they eventually part ways with the duo. They brought in the Italian starlet in a swap in 2017 when he was 18 and had a €5M valuation. They acquired the center-back from Spezia for €3M in 2021.
Our Take on Sassuolo, Frattesi, and Erlic
The pair would boost any side, even elite ones, but they don’t have the luxury of being at ease on the table. They ended the first half of the season on a skid, and they are 15th. Plus, their coffers are already full.
