Di Marzio – Newcastle United Pushing To Sign Inter Milan & Italy Star | OneFootball

Newcastle United are pushing to sign Inter Milan midfielder Davide Frattesi before deadline day.

This according to Sky Sport Italia transfer market Gianluca Di Marzio. He reports on his homepage that the Magpies want Frattesi on loan with a conditional purchase obligation.

Midfielder Davide Frattesi has been an Inter player since the summer of 2023.

The Nerazzurri signed the Italian international from Sassuolo.

Frattesi has certainly had his ups and downs during his two seasons at Inter.

The 25-year-old has had a knack for scoring important goals. He scored crucial late winners against Hellas Verona and Udinese when Inter won the title in his first season at the club.

Then, last season, Frattesi popped up with the extra time winner against Barcelona in the Champions League semifinals.

However, Frattesi never managed to nail down a starting place under Simone Inzaghi. Therefore, it was no secret that the Italian wanted to leave the club.

Had Inzaghi stayed on as Inter coach, then it seemed like a foregone conclusion that Frattesi would’ve left.

However, Inzaghi left for the riches of Al-Hilal.

And therefore, it appears that Frattesi has a new lease on life at Inter under coach Cristian Chivu.

Accordingly, Inter reportedly want to keep hold of Frattesi. So much so that they are even working to extend the midfielder’s contract.

That does not mean, however, that there is not transfer interest in the 25-year-old.

Newcastle United have identified Frattesi as a target to bolster their midfield.

And according to Gianluca Di Marzio, the Premier League club have made an approach to Inter in the last few days of the transfer window.

The Sky transfer expert reports that the Magpies have expressed an interest in signing Frattesi on loan, with a purchase option that becomes an obligation under certain conditions.

However, Di Marzio anticipates, these conditions would not necessarily be easy to meet.

Therefore, Inter have rebuffed the idea of a transfer on these terms. For their part, they value Frattesi at €25 million, Di Marzio reports.
