Italian transfer rumour round-up: Premier League side tracks Frattesi, Napoli chase Moroccan, and a possible return for Douglas Costa

Welcome to this daily round-up of some of Italyโ€™s most intriguing transfer rumours. Here are Thursdayโ€™s best stories, courtesy of Italian transfer ace, Gianluca Di Marzio.

Nottingham Forest seem to remain the most interested in Interโ€™s Davide Frattesi. New contacts have been made with the playerโ€™s entourage, and the Nerrazzurri will only accept a move if the Tricky Trees meet their โ‚ฌ35 million valuation.

Napoli are reportedly scouring the transfer market for forward options, and one of their latest targets is Moroccan striker Youssef En-Nesyri. The 28-year-old forwardโ€™s club, Fenerbahce, are believed to be open to a loan move.

Serie Dโ€™s Chievo Verona are close to finalising the signing of Douglas Costa, who is ready to play in the Italian lower leagues before moving to Dubai. The 35-year-old has reportedly reached a verbal agreement with the club and would likely play until the end of the season.

AC Milan are pushing for the signing of Partizan Belgradeโ€™s Andrej Kostic. The Rossoneri had initially offered โ‚ฌ4.5 million for the 18-year-old forward, but Partizan deemed this to be too low, given his release clause is set at โ‚ฌ20 million.

Inter reportedly have no intentions of opening talks with Galatasaray regarding a transfer for Hakan Calhanoglu. The Turkish giantsโ€™ management are currently in Milan to carry out transfer negotiations, but despite what has emerged in the Turkish media, no meeting has been scheduled with Inter to discuss Calhanogluโ€™s future.

Fiorentina are making an attempt to sign Kristian Thorstvedt, but Sassuolo are not open to a move. The Norwegian midfielder was pivotal in last seasonโ€™s Serie B-winning promotion campaign and is still a valuable asset for Fabio Grossoโ€™s side.
