Despite denials, new Frattesi report on Galatasaray talks | OneFootball

Despite the denials of all concerned, the reports continue to come that Davide Frattesi is discussing a potential transfer from Inter to Galatasaray.

The midfielder is getting less playing time than ever at San Siro, so the frustration is building and he is open to an exit in the January window.

Galatasaray coach Okan Buruk insisted over the weekend that Frattesi is not a target, while Inter denied that the player had asked to leave or that they received any offers.

Frattesi future up in the air

Nonetheless, Sky Sport Italia, Sport Mediaset and more all insist today that there are fresh contacts, with Frattesi more than enthusiastic about the idea of moving to the Turkish Super Lig.

The proposal would be a loan for €5m with option to buy at the end of the season for a further €30m.

However, Inter are pushing for it to be a guaranteed obligation to complete the purchase at the end of the season, whereas Galatasaray would prefer it to be an option.

If Frattesi was to leave, the Nerazzurri might not necessarily seek a replacement, considering how little playing time the Italy international has received anyway.

The 26-year-old had 15 competitive appearances, providing two assists this season, but only started four of them.
