Report – Juventus Reluctant To Admit Defeat In Race To Sign Wantaway Inter Milan Midfielder | OneFootball

Juventus are unwilling to give up on their pursuit of out-of-favor Inter Milan midfielder Davide Frattesi.

According to Sport Mediaset via FCInterNews, the Turin giants remain firmly in the race for the 26-year-old’s signature.

Davide Frattesi is one step away from severing ties with the Nerazzurri.

Indeed, the former Sassuolo star is not part of Cristian Chivu’s project and has already expressed his desire to leave.

However, Chivu’s men have made it clear that they have no intention of letting him join any direct Serie A rival.

Despite Inter’s stance, Juventus are still hoping to lure Frattesi to the Allianz Stadium.

Indeed, Luciano Spalletti has identified the Italian midfielder as an upgrade on his current midfield options.

Yet, reigning Super Lig holders Galatasaray have moved to the head of the queue.

Okan Buruk’s charges are ready to match Inter’s €35 million asking price, though it would include a loan component.

Furthermore, the Turks are unprepared to include a mandatory buyout clause, keeping the door open for Juventus to swoop in.
