Fenerbahce Lead Race for Inter’s Davide Frattesi With Reported €40 Million Bid

Inter are holding out for a substantial fee, with the sidelined midfielder weighing a January move.

Overview

Reports via Eurosport say Fenerbahce are ready to invest up to €40m for Frattesi, though the Italy international is not fully convinced by Turkey and would prefer to stay in Serie A.
Juventus have explored loans and swaps and are reluctant to meet Inter’s roughly €35m price, with Sport Mediaset reporting a shift in focus toward Sandro Tonali.
Newcastle are described by UK outlets as well placed if a reduced fee near £26.1m is accepted, following a £45m owners’ funding injection.
Frattesi has logged just one Serie A start and around 198 minutes under Cristian Chivu this season, driving his push for regular minutes ahead of the World Cup cycle.
Inter are resistant to loan-only proposals and previously rebuffed a swap involving Khephren Thuram, underscoring their preference for a significant cash sale.
