Davide Frattesi is set to leave Inter Milan and could join Serie A rival AS Roma this summer after falling out of favor under manager Cristian Chivu, according to reports from Calciomercato. The 26-year-old midfielder is actively being pursued by Gian Piero Gasperini, with Juventus also monitoring the situation closely.
Inter Milan Stalls Frattesi Exit Amid Limited Playing Time
According to Calciomercato, Inter Milan previously turned down approaches from Atletico Madrid last summer, effectively delaying an inevitable departure. Manager Cristian Chivu was unable to fulfill preseason promises regarding Frattesi’s career trajectory at the Giuseppe Meazza. The former Sassuolo player managed just three Serie A starts during the 2025/26 campaign.
Frattesi wants to leave Inter Milan to revive his career. With two years remaining on his contract, Nerazzurri leadership is eager to cash in on the midfielder, who nearly transferred to Nottingham Forest in January before that deal fell through.
Did you know? Davide Frattesi was heavily linked with a move to English side Nottingham Forest during the January transfer window before ultimately staying in Italy.
Roma and Juventus Battle for Frattesi’s Signature
AS Roma has entered the race for Frattesi as manager Gasperini searches for midfield reinforcements. According to recent reports, Roma is preparing to part ways with Manu Koné. The French midfielder has emerged as a top target for Manchester United, a club previously linked with both Inter and Juventus.
While Giallorossi officials would prefer to keep their midfield intact, Koné’s desire to continue his career at Old Trafford has forced the Roman club into the transfer market, opening the door for a potential pursuit of Frattesi.
