Davide Frattesi has rejected interest from Fenerbahce as he continues to hold out for a move to Juventus, with his departure from Inter Milan increasingly seen as inevitable despite the Nerazzurri demanding €30 million for the midfielder.
Frattesi Snubs Fenerbahce Approach While Waiting For Preferred Juventus Transfer
Inter Milan have made their position clear regarding Frattesi’s valuation, with the Nerazzurri having no intention of entertaining offers below €30 million. The club would prefer an immediate sale, especially if the buyer is an Italian rival, though Juventus have so far made assessments that do not align at all with Inter’s asking price according to reports.
Juventus are banking on patience in their pursuit of the midfielder, with time potentially increasing frustrations and desires for separation. Frattesi’s relationship with Inter is described as a worn-out story that has drawn attention from several clubs, including Roma and Napoli, though neither are currently prioritising a move for the 25-year-old.
The approach from Fenerbahce was more concrete than other interested parties, but Frattesi has delivered a clear refusal to the Turkish club. As long as the Juventus option remains on the table as his preferred destination, the midfielder will try to hold his ground and wait for the Old Lady to meet Inter’s demands.
Frattesi’s priority is playing time rather than status or prestige, wanting minutes, rhythm and confidence in what is described as a year that is too important. The midfielder is also motivated by a broken promise from last summer, when Cristian Chivu had assured him of space and tactical options, including a tailor-made role just behind the striker, but those expectations were not met.
With the World Cup cycle looming, Frattesi believes waiting for Juventus is worth the risk despite the uncertainty. Whether Inter’s €30 million valuation and Juventus’ patient approach eventually meet remains the key question in determining the midfielder’s future, though his departure from San Siro appears increasingly inevitable.
