Four days ago, the Italian media indicated Inter Milan’s Davide Frattesi is likelier to join Nottingham Forest. The Premier League side are now making advances to sign him late in the winter market.
On Friday, Gianluca Di Marzio reported the Reds have made an offer to the Serie A side. He explained Nottingham Forest will have to convince the midfielder.
TuttoMercatoWeb claim Inter could finalise the 26-year-old’s transfer to the City Ground within 72 hours.
Nottingham Forest are insisting and have made a loan offer with a €30m purchase option. The Nerazzurri are seriously evaluating the proposal.
The Italy international made one league start and two more in the Champions League this season.
TWM now state he is pushing for a move. With World Cup ahead, he needs regular game time to maintain hope of representing the national team. Nottingham Forest could offer regular opportunities. This operation is well on track.
Gazzetta dello Sport say ‘Frattesi heading to Nottingham’ in their title. Within the report, it’s explained how the English club took the lead.
Inter sporting director Piero Ausilio was hoping to cash in from his sale in this window. That won’t happen as Frattesi is on his way to join Sean Dyche’s side on loan.
Souloukou assist for Nottingham Forest transfer
Gazzetta state Nottingham Forest CEO ‘Lina Souloukou won’ in the end amid interest from Lazio and Beşiktaş. She has close ties with his agent, and this would have favoured the Reds.
The limited role at the San Siro is pushing the Italian away from Inter. That’s unlikely to be the case at the City Ground. The newspaper say he has already spoken to Sean Dyche, and the manager has assured him of regular minutes.
To sum it up, Frattesi is pushing after talks with Dyche. Nottingham Forest and Inter are now finalising the deal.
