Roma are not giving up hope on signing Davide Frattesi in a deal that would see Bryan Cristante go the other way to Inter Milan.
This according to today’s print edition of Rome-based newspaper Corriere dello Sport, via FCInterNews.
There’s now no doubt that Roma want to sign Frattesi from Inter.
The 25-year-old reportedly wants out from the Nerazzurri. He is unhappy with his lack of playing time and would like to join a team where he’s a first-choice starter, even as early as this month.
That has given Roma hope that they will be able to sign Frattesi.
However, the finances involved in a deal would certainly not be easy for the capital club.
Roma Not Giving Up Hope On Frattesi Cristante Swap With Inter
One of the main ideas that Roma have to bring a deal for Frattesi within reach is to offer midfielder Bryan Cristante going the other way.
Naturally, particularly considering that Frattesi and Cristante are five years apart in age, there’s a big difference in valuation.
That means that Roma would still need to pay a significant fee.
But the Giallorossi hope that the inclusion of Cristante could make an agreement for Frattesi a little more feasible.
