Napoli considering bid for Inter midfielder Frattesi | OneFootball

Reports in Italy claim Napoli are among the clubs interested in Inter midfielder Davide Frattesi despite his €45m price tag.

Corriere dello Sport and Il Mattino newspaper report that Napoli have joined the race to sign Italy international Frattesi from Inter.

The 24-year-old is reportedly considering leaving the Stadio Meazza to get more playing time elsewhere.

He had been linked with a move to Roma, but Inter’s €45m asking price and Lorenzo Pellegrini’s likely stay at the Olimpico mean the Frattesi may be out of reach for the Giallorossi.

On the other hand, according to Il Mattino, Napoli are considering a loan deal with an obligation to buy to be paid across two financial years.

It remains to be seen, however, whether Frattesi would actually get more playing time at Napoli, given that Stanislav Lobotka, André Zambo Anguissa and Scott McTominay are regular starters in midfield at the Stadio Maradona.

Napoli remain in talks with Chelsea for Cesare Casadei as Michael Folorunsho is expected to join Fiorentina.
