Sassuolo CEO Giovanni Carnevali dropped a big hint on the future of Inter Milan and Roma linked midfielder Davide Frattesi.
Carnevali was speaking to Italian broadcaster Telelombardia, as reported via Milan based Inter Milan news-site FCInter1908.
The Neroverdi executive also clarified the situation of Italian striker Andrea Pinamonti who’s been subject of rumors. Frattesi’s performances over the past few seasons have made him a target for some of Italy’s biggest clubs.
In his first two seasons in Serie A the 23-year-old has proven more than up to the level of the top flight. Inter are reportedly on Frattesi’s trail, maybe as a potential replacement for Nicolo Barella.
Meanwhile, Roma are also among the teams pursuing the young Italy international midfielder. Inter have reportedly spoken with the midfielder’s agent, whilst Juventus loom in the background.
Then, there are Premier League clubs , with some of Europe’s wealthiest clubs also potentially eyeing up Frattesi.
Sassuolo CEO Updates On Future Of Inter Target Davide Frattesi
Neroverdi CEO Carnevali stated that there are many club’s interested in the player, specifically naming Premier League clubs.
“There’s no shortage of requests given that he’s an excellent player in that role on the pitch, including from the Premier League,” the executive said.
“I wouldn’t be surprised if offers from other leagues arrive,” he went on.
Carnevali then remarked on the situation of striker Pinamonti. The 23-year-old joined Sassuolo on loan last summer after spending the prior season on loan with Empoli.
“Pinamonti is now our player, Inter have no ownership of him,” the CEO explained.
“Maybe they’ll come and ask about Frattesi, who’s already a top player,” he continued.
“The big clubs could all come knocking on our door about him, but we haven’t made a precise assessment yet,” Carnevali said of the midfielder.
“We’re not at the point where things are heating for him yet.”
In any event, Carnevali noted that “He’ll surely be rated as a top player, which he is.”
