phases and figures of the transfer market negotiation – Corriere.it

Fireworks under the Madonnina. Inter puts the arrow and overtakes Milan on the right and all the other competitors in the race to grab Davide Frattesi. The Sassuolo midfielder will wear the Inter shirt, as the player basically wanted and already in the spring it seemed to be the natural scenario. In itself, the solution to the summer deal does not appear to be an absolute novelty, but in reality takes on sensational contours if one considers the last-minute attempt made by the CEO of Milan, Giorgio Furlani, at lunch yesterday with the counterpart of the Giovanni Carnevali from Emilia and with agent Beppe Riso.

The Devil, forced to make a restyling of the midfield after the sale of Tonali (today for the first time in Newcastle to get to know the coach Eddie Howe, the sports center and the city) and the injury of Bennacer, after a general expression of interest against Frattesi shown in recent weeks, yesterday he wanted to know in detail the figures of the operation. Furlani hasn’t actually formalized any offer to the Emilians, partly because he is not inclined to invest more than 30 million and then because he took note that Carnevali, after a meeting with Marotta on Monday, had granted a first refusal right to the Nerazzurri, to be exploited within 24 hours.

So yesterday afternoon when the overtaking of Milan was expected, rich after the sale of Tonali in the Premier League, while Napoli and Juventus tried to insert themselves in extremis, the acceleration of the deal by Inter came as a surprise. The nerazzurri take Frattesi on loan with a buy-out obligation set at 26-27 million plus Mulattieri’s price tag valued at six
. In the evening, Beppe Riso negotiated Frattesi’s contract with the Inter managers, who will sign him for five years at 2.5 million a season and will undergo examinations by Friday.

Davide was very keen on this transfer, his preference was Inter, declared the agent. Milan, already mocked in the race for Thuram who accepted the Nerazzurri’s court on the same day in which the Rossoneri were waiting to announce the deal, is once again displaced. It must be said that Frattesi was not the first target for the Devilnow busy tightening other operations for the median like Reijnders from Az Alkmaar and Musah from Valencia (but not Samardzic of Udinese which remains in the Nerazzurri orbit). Pioli awaits them for the meeting on July 10 and possibly also Pulisic from Chelsea with them (tomorrow, however, the baby Luka Romero will undergo medical examinations).

After all, that Frattesi had something extra was already understood in B when the boy at the time wore the Monza shirt. Above all, Silvio Berlusconi understood this: in the summer of 2021 when Davide’s loan season in Brianza had ended, the Cavaliere organized a lunch in Arcore with Giovanni Carnevali through Galliani. Berlusconi’s goal was to extend the player’s stay in Monza, in Serie B, for another year. But Frattesi, although tied to the red and white colors, did not give the green light, driven by the dream of being able to play in Serie A. Now, two years later, he is preparing to wear the shirt of the Champions League finalist team.

About the Monza, yesterday the first shot. Giorgio Cittadini, defender born in 2002, recently called up by Mancini for an internship, arrives on loan from Atalanta. Today I will carry out the medical examinations Armando Izzopaid to Turin around 3 million while the operation will be finalized shortly Gagliardini, released by Inter. First day as a Juventus player at Continassa for Cristiano Giuntoli who had lunch with Francesco Calvo and visited the facility.
