Nottingham Forest circle back for Frattesi with Napoli waiting in the wings | OneFootball

Recent reports claim that Nottingham Forest have reignited their interest in Italy international Davide Frattesi, who is considered surplus to requirements at Inter, but there are still potential options for the 26-year-old in Serie A, including with Napoli.

Frattesi had to settle for a role as a back-up option during Inter’s Scudetto and Coppa Italia-winning campaign in 2025-26, starting just three times in the league and three times in the Champions League.

The former Sassuolo midfielder had been strongly linked with a move away from Inter during the January transfer window in order to increase his average game time, but a permanent exit never materialised.

Nottingham Forest were among the sides linked with a move for Frattesi in January, and according to recent updates from Gianluca Di Marzio, Evangelos Marinakis’s side could be poised to make another attempt to lure the Italian away from San Siro again this summer.

There have also been claims that Frattesi could be a potential option for Napoli under the leadership of Massimiliano Allegri, who had reportedly sought to bring him to Milan last summer.

The 34-time Italy international would be an even stronger option for Napoli if Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa were to leave this summer, which remains a possibility.
