Nottingham Forest have reportedly reached out to Inter Milan to discuss a potential transfer of Davide Frattesi, with the Italian midfielder deemed surplus to requirements by manager Cristian Chivu and eager to leave San Siro during the January transfer window.
Nottingham Forest Enter Talks With Inter Milan Over €35 Million Frattesi Deal
According to Sky Sport via FCInterNews, the Premier League club are keen on luring the Italian midfielder to the City Ground as they look to strengthen their squad. Frattesi’s future has become one of the major talking points in recent weeks after Chivu deemed him surplus to requirements at the Serie A club, with the player eager to secure a move away from San Siro.
Inter Milan are reluctant to stand in Frattesi’s way but have set their asking price at €35 million for the midfielder. The Nerazzurri will only entertain cash offers for the Italy international, ruling out any potential player exchange deals despite their previous interest in former Bologna winger Dan Ndoye, who will not be part of any negotiations.
It remains uncertain whether Nottingham Forest will agree to meet Inter’s asking price, making Frattesi’s potential transfer to the Premier League far from straightforward. The midfielder is also attracting interest from Galatasaray, while Juventus continue to monitor the situation and are waiting for an opportunity to present itself in the coming weeks.
The transfer saga highlights Inter Milan’s willingness to cash in on players who do not feature in Chivu’s immediate plans, with Frattesi’s departure potentially providing funds for other reinforcements. Forest’s approach represents their ambition to secure established international talent as they continue their Premier League campaign under their current management structure.
