Overview

• Sky Sport Italia reports Newcastle renewed enquiries for Davide Frattesi, finding Inter only open to a deal at around €40m or a loan with an obligation tied to straightforward targets.
• TRANSFERmarketWEB, summarising Sky, says Inter rejected Newcastle’s opening loan proposal because the obligation-to-buy conditions were considered too difficult to meet.
• A Football Italia exclusive published Saturday states unnamed sources insist Inter will not discuss Frattesi’s exit in the final days of the window, contradicting earlier signals of conditional openness.
• The summer transfer window shuts on Monday, September 1, leaving Newcastle little time to return with a clearer, quickly executable offer if they pursue the midfielder.
• Frattesi is under contract with Inter until June 2028 and was not a guaranteed starter last season; his agent Beppe Riso previously pushed for a move and also represents Newcastle midfielder Sandro Tonali.
