Report: Tottenham set to make €35 million move for Inter Milan player

Tottenham Hotspur, under the guidance of Ange Postecoglou, is keen to strengthen its midfield, and a player from Inter Milan has emerged as a potential target.

With a season marked by ups and downs, the club would greatly benefit from a successful signing, and with the transfer window fast approaching, Spurs seem ready to make their move.

Report: Tottenham set to make €35 million move for Inter Milan player

According to reports from Inter Live, Tottenham is preparing to make a significant offer of around €35 million to bring Davide Frattesi to London.

This report claims that such an offer would be difficult for the Serie A giants to turn down, as they would make a profit from the sale of the 25-year-old.

Frattesi joined Inter Milan permanently in July, after his transfer from Sassuolo for €31.4 million, following a successful loan spell where he played a pivotal role in the club’s success.

During his loan time at Inter, Frattesi had several notable moments, including scoring on his debut in the victory over AC Milan in the Derby della Madonnina and netting a crucial last-minute goal against Udinese.

However, the Italian international has struggled to secure regular starts under Simone Inzaghi this season.

Although Frattesi has featured in 16 matches across Serie A and the Champions League, contributing 3 goals and 1 assist, his limited playing time has caught the attention of clubs such as Tottenham.

Frattesi is currently in his second season with Inter and his fourth overall in Serie A, following his previous stint at Sassuolo. In November, he also earned his 25th cap for Italy.

In this context, Frattesi’s combination of technical ability, physicality, and versatility makes him an attractive option for Spurs.

His proven ability to perform in high-pressure situations could add both depth and quality to Tottenham’s midfield.

Despite signing Lucas Bergvall and Archie Gray in the summer, Tottenham failed to land another midfielder, despite strong rumours linking them to one.

Reports suggest that Tottenham is in a strong financial position to offer Frattesi a more lucrative salary than the €2.8 million per year he currently earns at Inter, giving them an edge in negotiations.

This potential signing would not only address the midfield void but also give Frattesi the opportunity to shine in the Premier League, taking his career to the next level.
