Newly crowned Serie A champions Napoli reportedly plot an audacious summer bid for Inter Milan midfielder Davide Frattesi.
According to Italian journalist Alfredo Pedulla via FCInter1908, the Partenopei may soon lodge a formal offer for the 25-year-old.
Davide Frattesi seemed destined to leave Inter in January as Roma tried to bring him back to Stadio Olimpico.
However, strapped for reliable midfield options, Simone Inzaghi pulled the plug on the deal.
As it turns out, Inzaghi only postponed the inevitable.
Inzaghi’s decision to leave Frattesi on the bench in the Champions League final could prove a final straw.
Indeed, the former Sassuolo midfielder is hellbent on finding a new club despite Inzaghi’s imminent exit.
Meanwhile, Napoli are aware of the situation and could seize the opportunity to reinforce their engine room.
Though they’ve already secured Kevin De Bruyne’s signature, Antonio Conte wants to add to his midfield options.
Frattesi has emerged as a viable target, especially now that they can offer him Champions League football.
On the other hand, Roma cannot meet those standards, suggesting the Italian star could end up in Naples this summer.
