Roma are approaching the Davide Frattesi saga with steadfast accuracy, as they aim accelerate talks with Sassuolo and claim his signature once the January winter transfer window opens.
José Mourinho won’t leave Roma for Portugal, even though he’s not against the idea of helming the national team in the future. He’ll keep the temperature high internally to push the Giallorossi to improve the squad, even though they have to deal with the Financial Fair Play.
After missing out on Davide Frattesi's signature in the summer, Roma are readying a new offer for the sought-after Sassuolo star. As per Gazzetta dello Sport, the Giallorossi are hellbent on landing the midfielder amid speculation linking him with several Premier League clubs.
There are indications that a five-year long contract lasting until 2027 is being prepared in the Italian capital for Frattesi, whose current deal with the Neroverdi expires in June 2026.
Roma will attempt to onboard their long-standing attempts Davide Frattesi in January. Sassuolo don’t appear willing to part ways with cornerstones during the winter, but that won’t preclude the Giallorossi from trying again. A pair of significant factors work in their favor, but they need to sell first.
Juventus are eyeing director Cristiano Giuntoli to overhaul their management after the recent scandals. But Napoli plan to hold onto their director, and he’s not eager to leave. He’s under contract until 2024. He has begun discussing an extension with CEO Andrea Chiavelli and is sketching out the future strategies.
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 comfortable spot in the standings.
Davide Frattesi has been linked to Roma, Napoli, and Brighton and voiced his intention to play for the Giallorossi, his boyhood club. However, as the midfielder hinted, the suitors might have to wait until the summer. Sassuolo's top director Giovanni Carnevali dished on the future of the budding star.
José Mourinho has clear ideas about how to reinforce the Roma squad in January, but they collide with the economic limitations of the team. The coach hasn’t spared cutting remarks towards Tiago Pinto, but the director is merely executing the mandate of the ownership, which tightened the belt this year.
Frattesi is eyed for a move in the upcoming winter transfer window rather than next summer by Napoli. However, it seems unlikely since Frattesi himself is interested in moving to Roma.
Roma will attempt to shore up their squad in January, but the financial restriction imposed by UEFA don’t give them much room. They’ll have to sell before signing somebody, but José Mourinho asked for multiple pieces. Considering the investment, Davide Frattesi is more likely to join in the summer.
Davide Frattesi eventually got past the disappointment for not joining Roma last summer. However, he remains adamant about returning to his boyhood club, even though it’s unlikely to happen in the upcoming transfer market window: “It means everything to me. I feel I will manage to move there at some point."
