The winter transfer window is fast approaching, and clubs across Europe have already begun laying the groundwork for potential moves aimed at strengthening their squads for the decisive second half of the season.
In Italy, two giants of Serie A — Juventus and Inter Milan — are quietly exploring options that could benefit both sides, as reported by Calciomercato, the source of this developing story.

Juventus and Inter Open Talks Ahead of January
According to information from Calciomercato, discussions between the Bianconeri and the Nerazzurri currently revolve around two players whose situations could align with the needs of both clubs.
One of them is Davide Frattesi, who has found himself playing a limited role at Inter this season under Cristian Chivu.
Despite being considered a reliable midfielder with energy and tactical intelligence, Frattesi has accumulated fewer than 500 minutes in all competitions, raising questions about his long-term role at the club.
Juventus, meanwhile, are closely monitoring the situation and could offer Frattesi the opportunity for a fresh start in Turin.

A potential reunion with Luciano Spalletti, who previously worked with the midfielder during his time with the Italian national team, could further strengthen Juventus’ interest.
While no formal bid has been made, Frattesi’s possible departure could become a key factor in facilitating other operations.
Muharemović Emerges as a Defensive Solution
On the other side of the negotiation stands Tarik Muharemović, a 22-year-old central defender currently playing for Sassuolo. Juventus retain 50% of his economic rights in the event of a future sale, a detail that places them in a strategic position.
Inter are actively searching for defensive reinforcements, particularly someone who can provide reliable rotation options behind experienced defenders Francesco Acerbi and Stefan de Vrij.
Muharemović has impressed this season with consistent performances, registering one goal and two assists across 14 appearances.

His growth has not gone unnoticed, with Bournemouth also reportedly interested, especially as Marcos Senesi’s contract situation remains unresolved.
For Inter, who are expected to keep spending under control in January, Muharemović represents a financially viable and technically promising solution.
While the valuations of Frattesi and Muharemović differ, Calciomercato suggests that a deal involving both players — directly or indirectly — cannot be ruled out.
As the winter window draws closer, these talks are worth watching closely, as they could reshape the plans of two of Italy’s most ambitious clubs.
