Inter, Frattesi nears exit: €40m Fenerbahçe bid, Juve on alert | OneFootball

As the winter transfer window approaches, the future of Davide Frattesi is once again a central topic at Inter. The Italian midfielder, who arrived with high expectations, has not found the hoped-for consistency even under Cristian Chivu on the bench, and today he represents one of the possible strategic departures to finance Inter’s transfer market.

Inter, Frattesi heading for a farewell: Fenerbahçe puts 40 million on the table. Juve alert, but the player hesitates

The resurgence expected from Frattesi after the coaching change has not materialized. Between physical problems that affected his summer preparation and constant high competition in midfield, the former Sassuolo player has collected fewer minutes than anticipated.

On Viale della Liberazione, the reasoning is clear: in the face of a suitable offer, a sacrifice may become necessary. Inter’s valuation ranges between 30 and 35 million, an amount considered fair for a player still in the prime of his technical maturity.

Fenerbahçe accelerates: 40 million ready

The most concrete lead points to Turkey. Fenerbahçe, currently second in the league just three points behind Galatasaray, is searching for a midfielder with international stature and has already expressed willingness to invest 40 million euros.

The preferred formula for the Nerazzurri would be a loan with an obligation to buy, a solution that would guarantee immediate financial certainty and allow Inter to reinvest decisively in the market, particularly for their main target on the right flank: Marco Palestra, valued by Atalanta at around 40 million.

“Fener wants to buy, Inter wants to sell,” but the equation is not that simple.

The decisive issue: the player’s will

While the dialogue between the clubs is well underway, Frattesi’s position remains central. The midfielder is reportedly not convinced by the Turkish destination and would prefer to stay in Serie A, believing that the visibility of the Italian league is crucial for his World Cup ambitions.

The desire is clear: “I want to play regularly, but without moving away from the football that matters for the National Team.”

Juventus, Napoli, and Roma are watching

There is no shortage of admirers in Italy. Luciano Spalletti considers him an ideal profile for Juventus, which could include technical counterparts such as Muharemovic. Napoli and Roma have also made inquiries, but Inter remains cool on options that would strengthen direct competitors.

For this reason, the Fenerbahçe route remains the preferred one for the Nerazzurri club, even though they are aware of the player’s resistance.

Inter looks ahead: Stankovic idea for post-Frattesi

If Frattesi is sold, Inter would not be left unprepared. The main idea is to bring back Aleksandar Stankovic, currently on loan at Bruges and showing steady growth. A young profile, already developed within the Nerazzurri world, who would ensure economic sustainability and project continuity.

Open scenario: nothing is decided yet

The picture is clear, but not closed. Fenerbahçe is pushing, Inter is considering, and Frattesi is taking his time. The feeling is that much will depend on the technical guarantees offered to the player and Inter’s willingness to wait for an Italian offer.
