Italy Midfielder Set To Stay At Inter Milan Despite Nottingham Forest & Lazio Speculation | OneFootball

Davide Frattesi is increasingly likely to remain at Inter, despite recent links with both Nottingham Forest and Lazio.

The transfer market around the Nerazzurri has stalled, not only for arrivals but also for departures.

According to Corriere della Sera, discussions that could have led to Frattesi leaving have slowed significantly.

Inter had explored scenarios that would allow the midfielder to move on, but those plans depended on securing a suitable replacement.

That replacement was identified as Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones.

However, Jones cannot leave unless he first signs a contract extension with the English club.

With no agreement in place on that front, Inter cannot move forward with any deal that would see Frattesi depart.

As a result, Frattesi now appears set to stay at San Siro unless there is a late and unexpected twist.

The club’s transfer strategy remains tied to other moving parts in the market.

Hopes of adding reinforcements also hinge on PSV’s stance over Ivan Perisic, while Denzel Dumfries is pushing to return from injury and will not be sold this month.

Unless those situations change, Inter’s squad looks likely to remain unchanged, and Frattesi will continue to play his part in Chivu’s plans for the second half of the season.
