Overview
- Multiple outlets report the Italy midfielder could be available in January after falling down Inter’s pecking order, with Tuttomercatoweb citing competition from Piotr Zielinski and Petar Sucic.
- Frattesi has seen sparse action this season, with under 200 Serie A minutes, no league starts since October 4, and zero minutes in the recent derby.
- Newcastle previously had an approach rebuffed in the summer and are now being linked with a renewed move in the winter window, according to Goal.com, Sport Witness, and CaughtOffside.
- Frattesi is under contract at Inter until 2028, and any deal would come in a window known for inflated prices as Newcastle weigh PSR considerations and squad planning.
- Yahoo Sports’ analysis argues he would add energy and goals from midfield but not a transformational upgrade, as Newcastle already have similar profiles even as the player seeks regular minutes before Italy’s World Cup playoffs.
