Report – Inter Milan Reject Newcastle United Advances For Italy Midfielder | OneFootball

Inter Milan have reportedly rejected an advance from Premier League club Newcastle United for midfielder Davide Frattesi.

This according to today’s print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews.

Midfielder Davide Frattesi has been an Inter player since the summer of 2023.

The Nerazzurri signed the Italian international from Sassuolo.

Frattesi has certainly had his ups and downs during his two seasons at Inter.

The 25-year-old has had a knack for scoring important goals. He scored crucial late winners against Hellas Verona and Udinese when Inter won the title in his first season at the club.

Then, last season, Frattesi popped up with the extra time winner against Barcelona in the Champions League semifinals.

However, Frattesi never managed to nail down a starting place under Simone Inzaghi. Therefore, it was no secret that the Italian wanted to leave the club.

Had Inzaghi stayed on as Inter coach, then it seemed like a foregone conclusion that Frattesi would’ve left.

However, Inzaghi left for the riches of Al-Hilal.

And therefore, it appears that Frattesi has a new lease on life at Inter under coach Cristian Chivu.

Accordingly, Inter reportedly want to keep hold of Frattesi. So much so that they are even working to extend the midfielder’s contract.

That does not mean, however, that there is not transfer interest in the 25-year-old.

According to the Gazzetta dello Sport, Premier League side Newcastle United have approached Inter about the possibility of signing Frattesi.

However, the newspaper report, Inter rebuffed this interest.
