Report – Sarri Sanctions Midfield Swap Deal Between Italian Internationals With Inter Milan
Maurizio Sarri is ready to green light Lazio moving for Inter Milan midfielder Davide Frattesi, even allowing Nicolo Rovella to go the other way. This according to today's print edition of Rome-based newspaper Il Messaggero, via FCInter1908. Advertisement Coach Maurizio Sarri wants to change things up at Lazio as he prepares for his second spell on the bench at the Stadio Olimpico. According to Il Messaggero, one priority for Sarri is to add more goals from midfield. That is one area in which the Biancocelesti were certainly lacking last season. Therefore, Il Messaggero reports, Sarri has made Davide Frattesi a major target. One thing the 25-year-old does not lack for his goals from midfield. Last season Frattesi scored seven goals for Inter – even without being a regular starter by any means. Sarri Sanctions Lazio To Make Frattesi – Rovella Swap Deal MILAN, ITALY – MAY 06: Davide Frattesi of FC Internazionale celebrates. scoring his team's fourth goal during the. UEFA Champions. League 2024/25 Semi. Final Second Leg match between FC Internazionale Milano and FC Barcelona at Giuseppe Meazza Stadium on May 06, 2025 in Milan, Italy. (Photo by) So much of a priority target is Frattesi for Sarri that he would even be willing to make a big sacrifice to sign the former Sassuolo midfielder. Advertisement According to Il Messaggero, the coach would be willing to lose midfielder Nicolo Rovella. And as it happens, Rovella is a major target for Inter. The Nerazzurri are preparing for the possibility of life without Hakan Calhanoglu – and Rovella is a major target to replace the Turk. Therefore, Inter would certainly be willing to listen to offers for Frattesi including Rovella. Inter are undoubtedly willing to part ways with Frattesi. The Italian international had already reportedly pushed for a transfer in January. And so if Frattesi can be used to dramatically lower the asking price for Rovella from his €50 million release clause, Inter certainly won't be opposed to the idea. The biggest obstacle to such a deal, however, could be wages. Frattesi earns €2.8 million net per season at Inter, whilst Rovella earns just €1.7 million net per season at Lazio.

Report – Inter Milan Willing To Sacrifice Italy Midfielder In High-Profile Swap Deal With Lazio To Replace Hakan Calhanoglu
Report – Inter Milan Willing To Sacrifice Italy Midfielder In High-Profile Swap Deal With Lazio To Replace Hakan Calhanoglu Inter Milan and Lazio could arrange a massive swap deal that would see Davide Frattesi and Nicolo Rovella shift allegiances. Per Il Messaggero via FCInter1908, this complex exchange would see Inter replace the exit-linked Hakan Calhanoglu. Advertisement Galatasaray have recently accelerated their quest to sign the 31-year-old playmaker. Therefore, the Serie A runners-up are frantically searching for replacements. Nicolo Rovella has quickly emerged as a perfect candidate, but taking him away from Stadio Olimpico could prove rather complicated. As such, Beppe Marotta must reach out for his bag of tricks again. Inter Milan & Lazio Considering Swap Deal Involving Davide Frattesi & Nicolo Rovella MILAN, ITALY – FEBRUARY 25: Hakan Calhanoglu of FC Internazionale celebrates scoring his team's second goal with teammate Davide Frattesi during the Coppa Italia Quarter Final match between FC Internazionale and SS Lazio at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza on February 25, 2025 in Milan, Italy. (Photo by) With Lazio insisting on Rovella's €50 million release clause, Marotta has to be creative. Indeed, Inter cannot afford such a hefty figure amid an ongoing effort to sign Ange-Yoan Bonny and Rasmus Hojlund. Advertisement Therefore, a swap deal could be a solution, with Davide Frattesi likely to fall victim to Inter's pursuit of Calhanoglu's heir. Rovella has been outstanding in Rome, and the Biancocelesti are understandably against his sale. Furthermore, there's a reasonable skepticism over the club's ability to find a suitable replacement for the 23-year-old. However, this way, Lazio would get a proven midfielder in return.

Inter Milan Quartet Fails To Live Up To Expectations In Italy 2-0 Moldova World Cup Qualifying Win
Inter Milan Quartet Fails To Live Up To Expectations In Italy 2-0 Moldova World Cup Qualifying Win Four Inter Milan stars were on the field last night as Italy pulled off a scrappy 2-0 win over Moldova in Luciano Spalletti's farewell game. Per Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInterNews, the Nerazzurri quartet had a rough evening at Sassuolo's Mapei Stadium. Advertisement Despite a calamitous performance in the Champions League final, Alessandro Bastoni and Federico Dimarco were in the starting XI. Though they were supposed to have a walk in the park against the ex-Soviet minnows, it turned out quite the opposite. Indeed, Ion Nicolaescu often caught Bastoni off guard and even scored, only for VAR to disallow his goal for offside. Meanwhile, Dimarco had another uneventful night but atoned with a last-ditch defending on the goal line. Inter Milan Quartet Struggles in Italy 2-0 Win vs Moldova MILAN, ITALY – SEPTEMBER 12: Davide Frattesi of Italy celebrates after scoring the goal during the UEFA EURO 2024 European qualifier match between Italy and Ukraine at Stadio San Siro on September 12, 2023 in Milan, Italy. (Photo by) Davide Frattesi was also on the pitch from the first minute. Unlike his clubmates, he had a more prominent role and even registered an assist for Andrea Cambiaso. Advertisement However, he often lacked composure in crucial moments, resulting in several missed opportunities. Finally, Nicolo Barella came off the bench in the second half and had no impact on the game whatsoever. Atypically for the diminutive midfielder, he failed to provide any moment of inspiration despite Moldova's erratic defending.
