Revealed – Why Inter Milan Took Italy Midfielder Off The Market
Revealed – Why Inter Milan Took Italy Midfielder Off The Market Inter Milan head coach Cristian Chivu has deemed in-demand midfielder Davide Frattesi 'untransferable' amid intense transfer speculation. According to Sky Sport journalist Matteo Barzaghi via FCInter1908, Chivu views Frattesi as a perfect fit for his 3-4-2-1 system.

However, the doubt remained, with the 25-year-old generating plenty of interest across the continent.

Indeed, his versatility perfectly fits Chivu's new tactical set-up, making him an invaluable asset. Instead, the Nerazzurri will try to offload Kristjan Asllani. Despite rejecting Real Betis' offer, the Albania international will likely leave San Siro by the end of the summer. A potential switch to Bologna is on the cards, though Inter would need to lower their claims to facilitate the move. As for Hakan Calhanoglu, his stay looks increasingly likely.

Per Sky Sport via FCInterNews, Los Rojiblancos have already established contact with the ex-Sassuolo ace.

(Photo by) Frattesi's exit looked like a done deal in January before Simone Inzaghi pulled the plug on talks with Roma. However, the ex-Inter manager continued to use the 25-year-old as a bit-part player in his system. Therefore, everyone expected Frattesi to leave San Siro in the summer, only for Inzaghi to depart first. Cristian Chivu's appointment should've handed the midfielder a lifeline. Yet, Atletico Madrid's interest seems genuine, and Frattesi may not stay immune to Diego Simeone's call.

Italy Star To Stay At Inter Milan After Decisive Champions League Goals?
Davide Frattesi could have made a future for himself at Inter Milan with his recent decisive goals in the Champions League. This is the view in today's print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews. Advertisement 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. (Photo by) Over the second half of the season, Frattesi has not established himself as a starter for Inter. Advertisement 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. Advertisement 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.

Inter star's X-rated admission on Barcelona heroics leaves Thierry Henry in stitches
Davide Frattesi scored in extra-time to earn Inter Milan a place in the Champions League final after an incredible back and forth semi-final match against Barcelona at the San Siro Inter Milan hero Davide Frattesi left Thierry Henry in stitches in his post-match interview after firing the Nerazzurri to the Champions League final. The Italian midfielder scored to send the San Siro into jubilant celebrations in extra-time against Barcelona. Inter had previously given up a two-goal lead on Tuesday night before Francesco Acerbi forced a further 30 minutes of play with a stoppage time equaliser following Barca's remarkable comeback. Frattesi then went on to provide the match-defining moment in the 99th minute. The 25-year-old came off the bench as a 79th-minute replacement for Henrikh Mkhitaryan and 20 minutes later was sprinting to the corner flag screaming after a very cool finish. The composure that Frattesi showed left Henry very impressed. The Arsenal legend asked the goalscorer what was going through his mind as he chose to dummy shooting before firing the ball goalwards. "I didn't see a man that was nervous or that his heart was beating really fast," Henry told the match-winner following the game. "I saw a guy that was composed to finish at that time in that tie, in that game. Explain to us how you thought about doing that." "Thank you, I don't know," responded Frattesi. "Maybe because I was thinking if I don't score I'm f****d." Inter's hero left the CBS Studio in stitches with Henry bowing his head and hitting the table. Former Juventus striker Alesandro Del Piero could not hide his smile, stood alongside Frattesi. While Frattesi retained his composure at the crucial moment, that could not be further from the truth for his celebrations. The ex-Sassuolo ace almost passed out. "I was fortunate to see out the game, as I was celebrating so much I was dizzy and nearly had a blackout!" Frattesi admitted. "I have to thank the physios, because yesterday I had an abdominal strain, so they did incredibly work getting me fit for this match. "It's just incredible, I don't know what to say. I thought after the Bayern Munich game I couldn't repeat that emotion, but it was even more incredible tonight. This is the beauty of football. "This has been my career, really. I wasn't blessed with incredible talent, but I am the last to give up and the first to believe, so this is a reward for effort and dedication."
