Sassuolo CEO Giovanni Carnevali insists his old pupil Davide Frattesi has the quality to cement himself as a starter anywhere, but the competition at Inter Milan is fierce.

The 25-year-old made a name for himself in Serie A during his time with the Neroverdi.

He established himself as a key player at Alessio Dionisi’s court, earning himself a move to the Nerazzurri in the summer of 2023.

In his first campaign at Appiano Gentile, Frattesi played an important role in several victories despite coming off the bench more often than not. This includes last-gasp winners against Hellas Verona and Udinese.

Nevertheless, the Italy international is now eager to hold a more significant role in the team this season.

For part, Carnevali believes the player has the quality to become a protagonist at any club.

Nevertheless, he admits that carving a place at Inter Milan remains a daunting task. This is mainly due to the tough competition, especially in the middle of the park.

“It’s not easy to find space for Frattesi with such an important squad,” said the Sassuolo CEO in his interview with Tutti Convocati via FcInterNews.

“Perhaps you have a coach who is looking for a little more experience and it’s not easy for Davide to break to the starting lineup.

“But in my opinion, Frattesi could be a starter at all clubs.”

Carnevali also touched on the San Siro subject. The stadium has recently lost the 2027 Champions League final hosting rights due to the uncertainty engulfing its future.

“This is a bit of a problem for our football because we believe that owning stadiums is an important factor.

“I worry about clubs that have foreign owners who perhaps put the acquisition of the stadium as a priority. We hope that these owners can understand the problems with bureaucracy and the long delays in Italy.

“At San Siro, we are back to square one. We have lost the possibility of hosting the Champions League final in Italy and in Milan. This country and the city have been penalized.”
