Inter Milan have beaten a host of other suitors to secure the signing of Sassuolo midfielder Davide Frattesi.
The 23-year-old was also a transfer target for AC Milan, Roma, Napoli and even Juventus. Nevertheless, he should complete a switch to Appiano Gentile in the next 48 hours.
As La Gazzetta dello Sport (via FcInterNews) explains, the Nerazzurri already had an agreement in place with Sassuolo. Despite the delay, the pact remained solid.
Inter were finally able to provide the necessary funds thanks to the sale of Marcelo Brozovic to Al-Nassr.
The source believes that Inter Milan will now have Frattesi on loan with an obligation to buy. The whole operation could cost the club 33 million euros.
