Newcastle United are interested in signing Davide Frattesi, and they will face competition from Manchester United and Tottenham.
According to a report from TEAMtalk, Newcastle United are plotting a move for Inter Milan midfielder Davide Frattesi as a potential replacement for Bruno Guimaraes.
The Brazilian has been linked with a move away from Newcastle United, and Manchester City are keen on securing his signature. It will be interesting to see if the Magpies can fend off the Premier League champions and keep their star midfielder. Meanwhile, it is no surprise that the Tyneside outfit are looking at potential replacements.
Davide Frattesi is highly rated in Italy, and he has a bright future ahead of himself. He could develop into an important player for Newcastle United in the coming seasons. The Magpies will need to fill a big void if Guimaraes leaves, and the Inter Milan midfielder could prove to be a useful acquisition.
Davide Frattesi is valued at €50 million, and Newcastle United certainly have the finances to get the deal across the line. However, the Magpies face stiff competition from Premier League rivals for the Italian international.
Manchester United and Tottenham keen on Frattesi
Manchester United need more quality and depth in the middle of the park as well, and they are keen on Davide Frattesi. The Red Devils are likely to be a more attractive destination for the player, and they have the resources to pay the €50 million asking price as well. It will be interesting to see if they can win the race for his signature.
Similarly, Tottenham sanctioned the departures of Oliver Skipp and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg in the summer transfer window, and they need more options in the midfield unit. The Italian international will add control and composure to the side.
However, the reported asking price could be a problem. Tottenham need to improve the other areas of their squad, and spending €50 million on the Italian might not be ideal for them.
The Serie A outfit will have to lower their asking price in order for the move to go through. All three clubs could prove to be interesting opportunities for the midfielder, and it remains to be seen where he ends up eventually.
