Lazio and Inter have found a new formula to unlock the transfer of Davide Frattesi to the Biancocelesti. As reported in recent hours, the deal had been temporarily suspended due to issues related to Lazio’s financial indices, which did not allow for the execution of an agreement with an obligation to buy.
The two clubs have therefore reached a new verbal agreement: a paid loan of 5 million euros with an option to buy set at 10 million, to which bonuses and a 50% sell-on clause in favor of Inter would be added. The problem concerned the formula initially agreed upon. Lazio’s transfer market is, in fact, balanced at zero, and the amount set for Frattesi’s obligation to buy would have exceeded what was received from the sale of Gila. The Biancocelesti could have filed the contract, but the deal would not have become effective until a further sale provided the necessary financial coverage. Hence the decision to modify the structure and distribution of the amounts: with 5 million for the paid loan and an option to buy, instead of an obligation, Lazio can meet the required parameters and immediately execute the transfer. Inter and Lazio are verbally in agreement on the new arrangement and, having thus overcome the obstacle related to the financial indices, the Frattesi deal should now be able to go through.
