Spalletti wants italian midfielder at Juventus

Davide Frattesi stayed at Inter during the winter transfer window, but his long-term future at the club appears far from secure.

While the Nerazzurri chose not to part ways with the Italian midfielder in January, the same scenario is unlikely to repeat itself once the season comes to an end.

Several signs suggest that a summer departure is becoming increasingly realistic. According to Calciomercato, the 1999-born midfielder is attracting strong interest across Serie A, with some of Italy’s biggest clubs already positioning themselves ahead of the next transfer window.

Frattesi’s profile, combining tactical intelligence, physical intensity, and a natural ability to arrive in the box, has not gone unnoticed, especially given his consistent performances whenever called upon.

Juventus Lead the Chase

Juventus are currently at the front of the queue. The Bianconeri view Frattesi as an ideal reinforcement for their midfield, particularly as the club looks to refresh its core with Italian talent capable of making an immediate impact.

A key factor could be Luciano Spalletti, who has worked closely with Frattesi within the Italian national team.

Should circumstances align in Turin, Spalletti is reportedly ready to strongly endorse the move, convinced of the midfielder’s ability to thrive at the highest level after seeing his growth first-hand with the Azzurri.

Juventus value Frattesi not only for his technical qualities, but also for his mentality and tactical discipline—traits that fit well with the club’s long-term vision. His familiarity with Serie A would also allow for a smoother adaptation compared to foreign signings.

Napoli and Roma Ready to Compete

Juventus will not have a clear path, however. Napoli and Roma are both monitoring the situation closely and are expected to enter the race from June onwards.

Napoli see Frattesi as a potential cornerstone for a midfield rebuild, while Roma remain emotionally and strategically linked to the former Sassuolo player, who came through the club’s youth system.

Inter, for their part, may be forced to listen to offers if a convincing proposal arrives, especially given the growing competition and the player’s desire for a more central role.

As reported by Calciomercato, the upcoming months could prove decisive, with Frattesi emerging as one of the most sought-after Italian midfielders of the summer transfer window.
