Inter Milan & Nottingham Forest Reach Total Agreement For Transfer Of Italy Midfielder But Nerazzurri Seek Replacement First | OneFootball

Inter and Nottingham Forest have reached a full agreement for the transfer of Davide Frattesi, but the midfielder’s move to the Premier League is not yet complete.

According to Matteo Moretto, via FCInterNews, the two clubs have agreed on a loan deal.

It includes an option to buy set at around €40m.

The financial terms are in place, and Forest are pushing to finalise the operation before the window closes.

However, Inter have not yet given the green light for Frattesi’s sale.

The Nerazzurri hierarchy want to secure a suitable replacement before allowing the Italy international to leave.

With a busy second half of the season ahead, the club are wary of weakening their midfield depth without an alternative.

Contacts have taken place with Liverpool regarding Curtis Jones.

However, that track is currently complicated by the English club’s contract situation with the player.

Inter have also made it clear they are not prepared to discuss a loan exit for Denzel Dumfries.

Should the Jones option fail to materialise, Inter are understood to have a fallback in place.

Until one of those solutions is secured, Frattesi’s departure will remain on hold despite the agreement with Forest.
