Overview
- Lazio officially signed Davide Frattesi on loan from Inter after the clubs announced the finalised formula and the player completed a medical and his unveiling.
- The deal was reworked after Serie A halted the original €1m loan with a conditional €14m obligation because that structure would have counted as a permanent commitment against Lazio’s liquidity and squad-cost limits.
- Inter agreed to raise the loan fee to €5m and drop the obligation to buy, replacing it with a €10m option and performance bonuses while keeping a 50% share of any future capital gain.
- Direct talks between Inter president Giuseppe Marotta and Lazio president Claudio Lotito resolved the registration impasse on Friday and allowed the transfer to be registered and announced.
- For Frattesi the move is a homecoming and a chance for regular play under Gennaro Gattuso, while Inter accepts less immediate cash to preserve long-term value and Lazio takes on higher short-term cost to avoid breaching FIGC rules.
