Report – Lazio Head Coach ‘Dreams’ Of Signing Inter Milan Fringe Midfielder | OneFootball

Lazio head coach Maurizio Sarri is reportedly ‘dreaming’ of signing Inter Milan midfielder Davide Frattesi.

According to La Repubblica via FCInterNews, the Biancocelesti manager is a big-time admirer of the Italian star.

Davide Frattesi remains on the fringes of the Nerazzurri squad despite Cristian Chivu’s pre-season promise.

Indeed, the 45-year-old vowed to reignite Frattesi’s career upon his arrival at San Siro in June.

However, the 26-year-old’s status at the club remains unchanged compared to last season.

Aware of Frattesi’s wobble at Giuseppe Meazza, Maurizio Sarri is hoping to lure the player to Rome.

Yet, there’s a major roadblock in the form of the midfielder’s salary.

Indeed, Frattesi’s €3 million annual wages make his transfer to the Stadio Olimpico a ‘mission impossible.’

Therefore, Lazio would likely need the former Sassuolo ace to take a pay cut in order to facilitate the move.

Meanwhile, Inter’s stance remains uncertain.

Despite Frattesi’s bleak performance, the club already turned down Atletico Madrid’s approach in the summer.
