Newcastle currently represents the most concrete option for the sale of Frattesi, according to Corriere dello Sport. The Magpies have shown interest in Aleksandar Stankovic and in exchange could become the destination for the Italian midfielder, who has been offered through intermediaries. The Juventus hypothesis has not found favorable feedback so far.
The negotiation with Lazio appears more complicated: with the Biancocelesti, only a loan with an obligation to buy and a high percentage on future resale would be possible. The Magpies could be the key to unlocking the situation more quickly compared to the deal with the Roman club.
The possible departure of Frattesi, valued at around 25 million, would allow for a move on Curtis Jones. The goal is to put pressure on Liverpool, who are asking for 40 million for a player whose contract expires next summer. At the moment, the midfield is numerically complete, but the exit of Frattesi (after Akinsanmiro, with Asllani and Massolin also on their way out) would free up space for the English midfielder.
Jones was excluded from Liverpool’s latest friendly and has long desired a move to the Nerazzurri, as shown by his social media like on the announcement of compatriot Stones‘ arrival. According to the Roman newspaper, the point of agreement for the deal could be set at 25 million, exactly the valuation of Frattesi.
