Inter Milan midfielder Davide Frattesi is still a target for Newcastle United, with the Tyneside club closely monitoring his situation at the Serie A club.
According to a report by Sport Witness, Davide Frattesi is the subject of interest from Newcastle United. The Magpies are keen on reinforcing their first-team squad by signing a versatile midfielder next year. So, the 25-year-old Inter Milan midfielder remains a target for the Tyneside outfit.
Newcastle United wanted to sign the Rome native in the summer transfer window, but the deal failed to materialise. The 2024/25 EFL Cup winners are still closely monitoring Frattesi’s situation at Inter Milan, with the player yet to get regular game time thus far in the 2025/26 season.
Davide Frattesi and his situation
Davide Frattesi has been in and out of the starting lineup since joining Inter Milan from Sassuolo. The Nerazzurri initially signed the 25-year-old on a season-long loan deal in July 2023 before completing a permanent move 12 months later. However, the player has not received a long rope in the middle of the park from Simone Inzaghi and Cristian Chivu.
The struggles have continued in the early stages of the 2025/26 season, as the Italian international has managed only 21 minutes of game time thus far. However, Frattesi’s stock in the market remains high. Premier League outfits, in particular, have been keen on signing him for a long time, with Newcastle United among the prospective suitors vying for his signature.
Premier League move on the horizon?
Newcastle United wanted to sign Davide Frattesi in the summer transfer window, but the deal failed to materialise. The Tyneside outfit eventually signed Jacob Ramsey from Aston Villa, but they attempted a late move for the Inter Milan midfielder.
The continued interest is understandable, considering there are rumours that Joelinton’s long-term future at St. James’ Park is uncertain. The Magpies are closely monitoring Frattesi’s situation at Inter Milan, with the former Sassuolo midfielder struggling for regular game time at the Serie A club.
If Frattesi’s struggles continue, it will not be surprising to clubs pursuing his signature in the winter transfer window. It will be interesting to see if Newcastle United and Inter Milan hold talks over a deal for the 25-year-old Italian international.
