Inter Reject Galatasaray Player-Plus-Cash Bid for Frattesi as €35m Talks Continue
The sticking point remains Inter’s push for a guaranteed buy clause in a proposed loan deal.
Overview
- Inter turned down Galatasaray’s offer that included a player plus cash for Davide Frattesi, with reports valuing the deal at around €35 million and noting Juventus are monitoring the situation.
- Multiple outlets report negotiations on a structure of a €5 million loan with a €30 million buy clause, with Inter seeking an obligation to buy and Galatasaray preferring an option.
- Galatasaray coach Okan Buruk publicly denied pursuing Frattesi and called the profile not a priority, while Inter denied receiving offers or a transfer request from the player.
- Frattesi’s limited role under Cristian Chivu this season has fueled openness to a January move, with reports citing few starts and modest minutes across competitions.
- Coverage indicates Inter would rather sell abroad than to Juventus, and any exit could shape their January plans, though no agreement has been reached.
