Inter are ready to make a player-plus-cash offer of a loan swap of defender Lorenzo Pirola for Sassuolo midfielder Davide Frattesi.

This according to Italian news outlet Calciomercato.com, who report that the Nerazzurri could look to convince the Neroverdi on the move by offering Pirola as part of a deal, who is currently on loan with Monza and who the Neroverdi value at around €9 million.

Frattesi is one of the Nerazzurri’s main transfer targets for next summer, with the midfielder’s form in Serie A this season marking him out as a candidate to strengthen the midfield in the long term.

Sassuolo value the 22-year-old at €25 million currently, though this could increase should his performances continue at the level they have so far this season, to as high as €30 million.

Pirola is a player who the Nerazzurri could look to use to tempt the Neroverdi on a deal, as he is admired by Sassuolo, and they are ready to offer a loan swap with a purchase obligation for both players.
