Davide Frattesi and Nicolo Rovella could be subjects of a high-profile swap deal between Inter Milan and Lazio.

Per Il Messaggero via FCInterNews, the two Serie A giants could engineer a blockbuster exchange this summer.

Inter are seemingly bracing up for life after Hakan Calhanoglu.

Heavily linked with a transfer to Galatasaray, the 31-year-old could soon end his four-year association with the Nerazzurri.

Therefore, Beppe Marotta is in the market for midfield reinforcements.

Inter Milan & Lazio Contemplate Swap Deal Involving Davide Frattesi & Nicolo Rovella

Nicolo Rovella is Inter’s top target to replace the former AC Milan playmaker.

However, his substantial €50 million release clause remains a huge roadblock.

As such, Marotta has come up with a shrewd plan to overcome this obstacle.

Indeed, Inter would offer Davide Frattesi in exchange for the 23-year-old to avoid breaking the bank.

Yet, there’s a catch.

Frattesi earns around €2.8m net per season at the San Siro, which is €1m more than Rovella’s wages in Rome.

At the very least, Lazio president Claudio Lotito sees this as a fair deal, as he puts Rovella on a par with the ex-Sassuolo star.
