Frattesi bids emotive farewell to Inter after Lazio loan switch | OneFootball

Frattesi posted an emotive farewell to Inter supporters after sealing a switch to Lazio, reflecting on highs and lows and hinting the two were perhaps incompatible.

According to Football Italia, the midfielder joins on loan for €5m with an option to buy for €10m, plus 50 per cent of any profit from a future sale.

He arrived from Sassuolo in 2023 and scored decisive Champions League goals against Bayern Munich and Barcelona, yet never became a regular. He made 122 appearances with 15 goals and 12 assists, but only 36 starts across three years.

In his message, Frattesi likened the experience to a relationship that was not meant to last. He described San Siro’s backing as making him feel unbeatable, while noting that something changed for him after that cursed final and that it was right Inter kept those able to give 101 per cent. He signed off by calling the fans like brothers and sisters.

He closed with a postscript about a yellow gate, a nod to celebrating a late 4-3 winner against Barcelona by climbing the barrier to roar with fans. The cursed final referenced was Inter’s 5-0 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the 2025 Champions League, their second lost final in three years.
