Juventus are contemplating an audacious move for Inter Milan midfielder Davide Frattesi as they look to offer Federico Chiesa plus cash for the Italy international.
According to Tuttosport, as reported by FCInterNews, the Bianconeri would include €20 million to sweeten the deal.
It’s still only an idea.
Juventus are aware of Inter’s interest in Federico Chiesa.
But Beppe Marotta would only be willing to sign the 26-year-old as a free agent next summer.
On the other hand, Juventus can ill-afford to lose their wantaway winger in a cashless deal.
Furthermore, Thiago Motta wants to add to his midfield options and hopes to kill two birds with one stone.
After Adrien Rabiot’s anticlimactic departure, Juventus are keen to bring another midfielder to the squad.
Douglas Luiz and Khephren Thuram have already joined the club. Davide Frattesi would be a cherry on top.
However, Inter boss Simone Inzaghi keeps the former Sassuolo star in high regard.
It would take an irrefutable offer to tempt the Nerazzurri to sell their clutch specialist.
Juventus hope to have come up with a satisfying proposal.
Juventus Ready to Offer Federico Chiesa Plus Cash for Inter Milan Star Davide Frattesi
Despite struggling for a regular starting berth in his first season at Giuseppe Meazza, Frattesi lived up to expectations.
As one of the best Serie A substitutes, he clocked up six goals and four assists across 32 league appearances last term.
Frattesi’s unique ability to score late goals and shine in high-octane moments earned him high acclaim from Inzaghi.
Therefore, Inter will hardly consider Juventus’ bid.
Chiesa’s inclusion in a deal could be a game-changer.
But there’s a feeling the Italian champions need Frattesi more than Chiesa.
A potential agreement would only benefit Juventus.
Motta’s troops fear losing Chiesa on a free transfer next summer, and that’s probably the only reason they’re considering this swap.
