Tomorrow Davide Frattesi will undergo the medical examinations that will lead him to wear the Lazio jersey. The transfer has been agreed on the basis of a paid loan of one million euros, with an option to buy that becomes an obligation if one of two conditions is met: Lazio finishing in the top 10 of the standings or the midfielder making 22 appearances during the season.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Inter structured the deal by retaining a percentage on the player’s future resale. The Nerazzurri will keep 50% of any eventual capital gain, in addition to three million in already agreed bonuses. The midfielder’s contract with the Milan club expires in 2028 and provides for a net salary of three million, equal to 5.5 million gross. As of June 30, 2026, the player’s book value will be 13.08 million, expected to drop to around 6.5 million at the end of the next season.
It is precisely in that summer that the 14 million from the final buyout are expected, which would tie Frattesi to Lazio for the following four years. The structure of the deal allows Inter to maintain amortization costs, about 6.5 million, but save the gross salary of 5.5 million and collect the million from the loan, essentially breaking even even if the buyout does not take place.
If the midfielder reaches the 22 appearances stipulated in the agreement, the Nerazzurri will also realize a capital gain estimated at around 7.5 million, while still retaining the right to 50% of any subsequent sale by Lazio.
