Roma and Napoli are both keen to return to try and sign Inter Milan midfielder Davide Frattesi, and could offer Nicola Zalewski and Giacomo Raspadori.

This according to today’s print edition of Turin-based newspaper Tuttosport, via FCInterNews.

Davide Frattesi’s future at Inter Milan remains very much up in the air.

The Italian international had been a super sub last season, his first campaign with the Nerazzurri.

However, Davide Frattesi had expected more of a starting role this time around.

That hasn’t been the case, though.

Frattesi has remained firmly down the pecking order.

And particularly in December and January, Frattesi began to push for a transfer out of frustration with his lack of minutes.

There were two clubs who showed a particular interest in Frattesi’s signature during the January transfer window.

Firstly, Roma made no secret of their interest. And for his part, Frattesi would have welcomed a move to the Giallorossi.

Meanwhile, Napoli also made an effort to sign Frattesi in order to bolster their midfield depth.

However, Inter slapped a high price tag on the former Sassuolo midfielder.

From Roma, Inter would have expected a fee of €40 million for Frattesi. And the Nerazzurri would have wanted €60 million from Napoli considering that the Partenopei are direct title rivals.

Therefore, Frattesi stayed at Inter for the second half of the season.

And it would be fair to say that the 25-year-old has had his impact. Not least his goal against Bayern Munich in the Champions League.

However, this summer the story could change.

Frattesi may still push for an exit. And for their part, both of Roma and Napoli still want to sign the Italian.

And Tuttosport note that each of the two clubs could offer a player going the other way.

The GIallorossi could bundle the talks for Frattesi with negotiations over the transfer of Nicola Zalewski, currently on loan at Inter, on a permanent basis.

Meanwhile, the Partenopei could make an offer including forward Giacomo Raspadori, still a target for Inter.
