Davide Frattesi is a player whose future at Inter Milan has been the subject of a lot of speculation.
The Italian international has never established himself as a regular starter for the Nerazzurri since joining from Sassuolo two years ago.
Therefore, reports indicate that behind the scenes, Frattesi has grown unhappy.
The 25-year-old wants to be at a club where he will be a first-choice starter. Therefore, he reportedly was keen to leave in the January transfer window.
Roma had shown a strong interest in Frattesi's signature. Meanwhile, Napoli reportedly see the Italian international as a major target.
Davide Frattesi Could Stay At Inter Milan After Decisive Champions League Goals
MILAN, ITALY – MAY 06: Davide Frattesi of FC Internazionale scores his team's fourth goal whilst under pressure from Ronald Araujo and Pau Cubarsi of FC Barcelona during the UEFA Champions League 2024/25 Semi Final Second Leg match between FC Internazionale Milano and FC Barcelona at Giuseppe Meazza Stadium on May 06, 2025 in Milan, Italy.

Over the second half of the season, Frattesi has not established himself as a starter for Inter.

However, it would be fair to say that the ex-Sassuolo man has well and truly cemented himself as a super sub.
Frattesi has always had a penchant for scoring important goals. For Inter, these have tended to come off the bench.
Late goals against the likes of Hellas Verona and Udinese last season played a big role in Inter's Serie A title triumph.
And this time around, it has been in Europe that Frattesi has really shone.
The 25-year-old scored against Bayern Munich in the Champions League quarterfinals. Then, in the semifinals he scored an even more important goal against Barcelona, the winner in extra time.

These goals have demonstrated Frattesi's value to Inter. And for the player, they have shown that even if he struggles to start regularly, he will have an important part to play in the fight for the biggest trophies.
Therefore, there is a real chance that these goals have been decisive in keeping Frattesi at Inter this summer.

Masks, parties, nightclubs and lateness: players fined by club 😳
Douglas Luiz will be fined by Juventus after skipping the team's gathering, and will have to pay a sum that can reach up to 120,000 euros. This is not the first case of a player being punished with a fine by their own club for indiscipline: the Brazilian is in good company. Here is a list of famous cases of players fined by their own clubs. 🕺🏾 Ronaldinho in the nightclub Genius and recklessness: how else to define a player like Ronaldinho? At Milan, the Brazilian brought a lot of class, but just as many headaches for Adriano Galliani, who didn't seem to be able to limit the player's desire to party. We are in September 2009 and, on the eve of the Champions League match against Zurich (lost 1-0 at San Siro), Dinho gets caught in the Shocking Club nightclub dancing until 2:30 in the morning. So Galliani decides to take a hard line, after the umpteenth offense by the Brazilian. ✈️ Flight and delay, the case of Adriano A few months earlier, on the other side of the Milan derby, another Brazilian had caused problems for his club. We are talking about Adriano, who started 2009 by getting fined for returning late from the winter break. Mourinho doesn't seem too irritated, but the club decides to take a hard line. For two reasons: it wasn't the first training session skipped during the season, and the statements by Adriano's spokesperson, who claimed that the Nerazzurri hadn't booked the return flight from Brazil, weren't appreciated. 🤦🏻♂️ How many Cassanate Who was practically a habitué of fines was Antonio Cassano: during his time at Roma, he got into all sorts of trouble, getting fined by the club on more than one occasion. Some examples? In 2004, he was expelled for slapping Chiellini, in 2005 he refused to come on the field in a friendly after Spalletti took the captain's armband away from him and gave it to Montella. On another occasion, he called team manager Tempestilli and told him, "I'm sick of being on the bench for these four ****". And the list goes on... Even away from Roma, Cassano's outbursts didn't end: in 2013, Inter put him out of the squad and fined him 40,000 euros after a violent argument with coach Stramaccioni. 🥷 The Ninja's New Year's Eve And speaking of Roma, how can we forget the episode of Radja Nainggolan's New Year's Eve, which he celebrated in a rather unsuitable way. Alcohol, cigarettes, and blasphemies on a padel court, all documented with a social media live video by the player himself, which quickly went viral. Result? A fine of 100,000 euros and the player's exclusion from several matches. 🦸🏻♂️ Aubameyang's mask In the case of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, there were no outrageous behaviors, but a celebration... with the wrong brand. To celebrate a goal in the derby against Schalke 04, Aubameyang put on a mask. The problem? The mask was from Nike, while Dortmund was sponsored by Puma, and the club decided to fine the player. It wouldn't be the only fine in his career for the Gabonese player, who was sanctioned by the CAF for publishing sarcastic tweets about the African confederation after his national team was stuck in an airport in Gambia, forced to sleep on the floor. 💸 Mutu, what a blow! If normally fines can reach up to 30% of a player's salary, Adrian Mutu was forced to pay Chelsea a whopping 17 million euros. The reason? The fact that the player had tested positive for cocaine in a doping test, violating his contract with Chelsea. The Romanian tried to appeal against the situation, but to no avail. ⏰ Dembélé's alarm clock If today Ousmane Dembélé is one of the heroes of PSG's Champions League victory, in 2018 his reputation was quite different: after becoming one of the most expensive signings in football history by joining Barcelona, he failed to convince the Blaugrana that he was worth the money spent on him. Besides his performance on the field, his immature behavior off the field didn't help, particularly his chronic lateness. So, after yet another delay, of two hours, to a training session, the Catalan club decided to fine him 100,000 euros. The justification for the delay? "I didn't hear the alarm clock". 💥 Tough punishment for the Apache One of the toughest sanctions ever imposed by a club on one of its players was the fine received by Carlos Tevez during his time at Manchester City. One million pounds, equivalent to four weeks' salary, plus a two-week suspension. The reason? The Apache's bad behavior, which the club deemed guilty of five separate contract violations for refusing to warm up during the Champions League match against Bayern Munich. The refusal to enter the field was due to a disagreement with Mancini, who had waited too long to send him on the field after he had warmed up for 35 minutes. This led to an argument, and Tevez left Manchester to return to Argentina, where he stayed for several months before apologizing and returning to the team.
