Juventus Eye Restless Inter Star, Shoot Down Swap Buzz | OneFootball

The agents of Davide Frattesi recently paid a visit to Juventus, as he continues to be unhappy with his playing time. He’s highly likely to finally depart, either in January or next summer, TuttoSport informs.

Luciano Spalletti is a big fan of the midfielder, who has performed well under him with Italy. He’s been tipped to exit a few times, but the Nerazzurri always set rich price tags. They are deeper now, though. His extension talks have gone nowhere.

Inter would likely ask Juventus for a player in return for Frattesi, for instance, Khephren Thuram. He was a fallback when they went for Manu Koné. The deal wouldn’t be easy to engineer. The two players have different price tags, and the rules on the ‘plusvalenze’ have changed in recent years, La Gazzetta dello Sport informs.

Bianconeri official Giorgio Chiellini rushed to deny the chatter about their star talking to DAZN (via Mediaset) before the Bologna clash, saying they had every intention to keep him. Instead, he was mum about their rumored target.

Our Take on Juventus, Frattesi, and Thuram

He should definitely be on his merry way, as he hasn’t clicked with Christian Chivu, Inter have shiny new toys to showcase at the position, and they will probably quench their thirst for a powerhouse eventually.

The Old Lady needs to add and not just reshuffle the deck. The Frenchman hasn’t been superb this season, but is far more complete. There’s hope he’ll get back on track and grow exponentially if they stabilize themselves. While the Nerazzurri outcast wouldn’t necessarily be the type of player they need, they are wide open tactically. On the other hand, top Serie A sides rarely do business together out of pettiness.
