The Giallorossi midfielder is ready to take the opposite path in a possible negotiation. On the web the Nerazzurri people have other ideas and would like the former Lazio player who now plays for Al Hilal, who however between salary and identity card…

January 10, 2025 (changed at 10.27pm) – MILAN

The month of January is not going according to plan. On a sporting level, the comeback suffered by Milan in the Italian Super Cup derby was very painful. As if that wasn’t enough, Inter also finds itself facing an unexpected situation on the transfer market with no immediate solution. The desire for a change of scenery, expressed by Davide Frattesi through the plots hatched by his agent Giuseppe Riso, risks strongly changing the programs of the Nerazzurri management for the winter transfer window. It should have been a session to be spent with the right serenity, looking to the future for the entrances and trying to conclude an attack in which there is one element too many. Instead, the real risk is that Marotta and Ausilio will have to find an adequate profile to replace an important player, even if not classified as a starter. It is precisely the reduced playing time, Frattesi’s real big problem, who complains about the little space given to him by Simone Inzaghi.

solution

But there isn’t even much time to think about the merits of managing the squad. Inter now have to plan their next moves, based on possible developments. Roma seems to be serious about bringing him home, Napoli is thinking about it if they were to cash in on the sale of Kvaratskhelia. Tottenham and Newcastle also like him, but Frattesi has not shown great openness to a transfer to the Premier League. Since the Giallorossi are the most accredited suitor, above all because they are not direct competitors in the championship, one possibility is represented by a kind of exchange: Roma would buy Frattesi, Inter would receive Cristante but only on loan, to immediately fill the gap in the department with a player who knows the championship.

the dream

For now, the matter is keeping all the Inter fans on tenterhooks, who are expressing themselves loudly on social media while waiting for updates. The name most desired by fans is Sergej Milinkovic-Savic. A midfielder with dominant qualities, during his time at Lazio, who has an extraordinary feeling with the coach. They would probably be very happy to meet again. But for now it is a dream, very far from reality, for economic reasons: Al Hilal – who among other things tried to tempt Barella with a super offer – would not let him go for free and the player would have to settle for a substantial cut on the salary. Not to mention the fact that he will be 30 in just over a month and this makes him outside the age parameters dictated by Oaktree. The knots are different and also particularly intricate. It will take some time before they can begin to dissolve. And in the meantime, at least everyone is allowed to dream.
