Davide Frattesi has been labelled a “perfect fit” for Juventus as speculation continues over a possible January move away from Inter.
According to Tuttosport, via FCInterNews, the midfielder is considered the most suitable profile to strengthen the Bianconeri’s engine room midway through the season.
The Turin-based newspaper highlights Frattesi’s productivity under Italy’s former head coach.
Indeed, where he scored seven goals in 22 appearances.
Furthermore, he often operated as an advanced midfielder behind the striker.
That ability to box-crash and add goals from midfield is seen as a key attribute Juventus currently lack.
The main obstacle, however, remains the cost of the deal.
Inter have never shown any intention of dropping below a €35 million valuation.
Indeed, a figure that Juventus are reluctant to meet outright in January.
Tuttosport is clear that a swap deal involving Thuram is not on the table, despite recent rumours.
At most, Inter could be open to a loan with a sizeable fee and a conditional obligation to buy.
Indeed, a formula that would allow Juventus to spread the financial impact.
Even that scenario, though, would require careful negotiation between the clubs.
Frattesi seems likely to leave Inter, but will Juventus be the destination?
