Galatasaray make new contact for Inter’s Davide Frattesi

Davide Frattesi has signaled his openness to a move to Galatasaray as the Turkish champions intensify their efforts to sign the Inter midfielder. According to Gianluca Di Marzio, new contacts have taken place over the last few hours, marking a significant step forward in a negotiation that could see the Italian international depart the San Siro this winter.

Notably, the proposed structure of the deal is a loan with an obligation to buy set at €35 million. This formula is particularly attractive to the Nerazzurri management, who are keen on a guaranteed sale rather than a move contingent on complex performance triggers. Furthermore, the 26-year-old has been offered a substantial salary increase, with reports suggesting a contract worth roughly €5 million per season—a significant jump from his current earnings.

Indeed, Frattesi’s decision to open the door to the “Lions” stems from a desire for more consistent playing time. Despite his importance to the national team, he has found himself on the periphery of the squad under both Simone Inzaghi and Cristian Chivu this season, totaling only 205 minutes in Serie A. Consequently, the prospect of becoming a central figure in Istanbul, alongside stars like Victor Osimhen and Mauro Icardi, has become an increasingly compelling option.

As things stand, the clubs are working to finalize the exact conditions of the obligation clause. Should the final guarantees be met, Frattesi could soon be trading the Scudetto race for the Süper Lig title charge.
