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.

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.

Alfredo Pedulla Confirms Inter Milan & Italy Star Is ‘Napoli's First Choice'
Alfredo Pedulla took stock of the future of Inter Milan ace Davide Frattesi amid talks linking him with a shock move to Napoli. Speaking to The Italian Football Podcast, Pedulla confirmed Napoli's interest in the 25-year-old. Advertisement Davide Frattesi seemed destined to leave the San Siro in January. However, Inter blocked his transfer to Roma by slapping a prohibitive €50 million price tag on his shoulders. Despite denying him a chance to leave, ex-manager Simone Inzaghi rarely played the former Sassuolo midfielder. Therefore, a lack of first-team opportunities only strengthened Frattesi's desire to find a new club. Yet, with Inzaghi out of the picture, the situation could change. Indeed, Cristian Chivu could resurrect Frattesi's career at Inter, especially now that Hakan Calhanoglu is thinking of departing the club. Moreover, the Italian star could have a prominent role at the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup. Advertisement That could determine his future in Lombardy. On the other hand, Napoli boss Antonio Conte is contemplating offering Frattesi an escape route from the San Siro.

(Photo by) 'Frattesi is Napoli's first choice,' Pedulla stated. 'With the new Inter management, without Simone Inzaghi, I believe that Frattesi will not push as hard as before to leave. 'Before he played little, he came in, scored, but rarely started. Roma had tried seriously, he was a Roma fan or at least tied to Roma. 'Inter had asked for fifty million in January, fifty because they didn't want to sell him. Advertisement 'It was a price set to push away the interested clubs. Now that there is Chivu and there is no longer Inzaghi, I think that before going, he will think about it. 'But then Inter are not able to lose Calhanoglu, Frattesi, and another two. 'Inter will probably do a little re-styling, but they can't sell everyone. Because then it would become very complicated for a new coach who has arrived to a completely new team.'

Report – Inter Milan & Lazio Considering Swap Deal Involving Two Italy Star Midfielders
