A sensational transfer scenario could emerge between Inter Milan and Juventus in the January window, according to journalist Paolo Bargiggia, with Davide Frattesi and Manuel Locatelli reportedly the subject of a swap.
Writing on X, via FCInter1908, Bargiggia reports that the two clubs are considering a swap deal involving Frattesi and Locatelli, likely beginning as loan exchanges.
The move would see both midfielders seek fresh starts after limited opportunities in recent weeks.
Frattesi, who has struggled for minutes under Cristian Chivu, has fallen behind Barella and Sucic in the pecking order.
Meanwhile, Locatelli’s role at Juventus has come under review as the Bianconeri prepare for a reshuffle in midfield.
Inter & Juventus Consider Sensational Frattesi & Locatelli Swap
Inter’s focus on midfield restructuring is already well known.
Piotr Zielinski and Andy Diouf are among those whose futures remain uncertain.
The rise of Petar Sucic has provided balance and creativity.
However, Chivu and the Inter directors are reportedly open to further adjustments to fine-tune the squad.
No formal talks have been confirmed.
However, Bargiggia’s report suggests the Locatelli–Frattesi swap could be one of the more surprising stories.
