Lazio looking to snap up midfielder wanted by Juventus | OneFootball

Lazio are looking to sign Davide Frattesi as Juventus hesitate to add the Inter Milan star to their squad this summer, despite the midfielder’s desire to be reunited with Luciano Spalletti.

The Bianconeri have followed Frattesi since his time at Sassuolo, but he chose Inter Milan over Juventus at the time. He has since struggled for relevance in Milan, and his situation has opened the door for Juventus to make another attempt to sign him.

Frattesi Keen on Spalletti Reunion

Frattesi is reportedly keen on a move to Turin to work with Spalletti again. The midfielder considers the Juventus manager one of the best coaches he has worked with, having enjoyed an important role when Spalletti was in charge of the Italy national team.

During Spalletti’s time as Italy manager, Frattesi was one of the team’s best players. The midfielder is therefore eager to work with the coach again, and a move to Juventus would give him the opportunity to reunite with the manager at club level.

However, Juventus are currently focused on other players, leaving Frattesi uncertain about whether they will eventually approach. The midfielder has been waiting for the Old Lady, but there is no guarantee that the club will make him a priority before the transfer window closes.

Lazio Make Contact With Inter Milan

This hesitation has encouraged Lazio to enter the race. Fabrizio Romano says Lazio want to sign Frattesi and have made contact with Inter Milan about a potential move for the midfielder.

Lazio view Frattesi as one of the players who could help strengthen their squad, and they are expected to push to get a deal over the line while Juventus continue to focus on other transfer targets.

For Frattesi, the situation presents a difficult choice. He wants to join Juventus and reunite with Spalletti, but Lazio could offer him a clearer path to regular playing time. If Juventus continue to hesitate, the midfielder could ultimately accept a move to Lazio instead, particularly if guaranteed game time becomes the priority as he considers his next step.
