In the past few hours, Lazio had tried to bring Davide Frattesi to the capital with a loan and an option to buy, which would have become an obligation if certain conditions were met. The Biancocelesti club had accelerated also because Vecino, a former Nerazzurri player, is close to transferring to Celta Vigo in La Liga, where he is undergoing medical examinations.
However, Inter has decided not to give the green light for the midfielder’s departure. The reason is the impossibility of finding an adequate replacement. Liverpool, in fact, has closed the door on the sale of Curtis Jones, who has not yet renewed his contract with the Reds but will not leave England in this transfer window.
Matteo Moretto, on Fabrizio Romano‘s YouTube channel, also confirmed Inter’s position regarding the possible loan of Frattesi: “Lazio tried for Frattesi, even recently, just yesterday, for example. For a deal around 25 with bonuses. But Inter does not want to let Davide Frattesi go if they do not have a replacement. At this moment, I feel like saying that the chances of Frattesi leaving are really very slim.”
With the impossibility of adequately replacing him, Frattesi will therefore remain in the squad at Chivu‘s disposal for the second part of the season.
