Report – Juventus Set Sights On West Ham Midfielder Amid Complicated Pursuit Of Inter Milan Flop | OneFootball

Juventus have earmarked Inter Milan outcast Davide Frattesi as a prime transfer target while continuing to assess alternative options.

According to Sky Sport via FCInter1908, the record-time Serie A champions have already devised a potential backup plan.

Davide Frattesi could be counting his final days at San Siro after falling out of favor with Cristian Chivu.

Dropped to the fringes of the Nerazzurri squad, Frattesi is desperate to cut ties with last season’s Serie A runners-up.

Indeed, the 26-year-old must secure regular first-team opportunities in the second half of the season to make Italy’s FIFA World Cup squad.

While Italy have not officially booked their place in North America, qualification is all but certain.

Juventus Find Davide Frattesi Alternative Amid Inter Milan High Asking Price

Luciano Spalletti would ideally sign Frattesi in January, but Inter’s €30 million asking price remains a massive roadblock.

Furthermore, Chivu’s men are holding out for their valuation of the former Sassuolo starlet, making it hard for Juventus to seal the deal.

Therefore, the Turin giants have reportedly set their sights on West Ham ace Guido Rodriguez, who could arrive in Serie A on loan.
