Davide Frattesi transfer latest as Nottingham Forest offered Inter discount

Davide Frattesi’s future at Inter Milan is once again moving towards the spotlight, with Nottingham Forest still firmly in the picture after their failed January attempt to sign the Italian midfielder. The situation has now shifted in Forest’s favour financially, with Inter reportedly willing to lower their asking price this summer.

Frattesi’s frustration over limited minutes has grown, and his chances of staying at Inter beyond this season now look increasingly slim.

According to reports in Italy, Forest remain attentive to developments while rival interest from Roma continues to build.

Forest pushed hard to sign Frattesi in January and reportedly tabled a €35 million offer to Inter.

That move ultimately collapsed due to linked transfer complications elsewhere, forcing the midfielder to remain in Milan.

But six months later, the circumstances are very different. Inter are now more open to a sale.

The midfielder has started just two matches in 2026 and has seen his role diminish dramatically, managing only nine minutes of football since early April.

Based on recent Inter squad management we’ve covered, Frattesi’s place in the pecking order has clearly dropped. That makes a summer exit far more realistic.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Inter are prepared to offer a discount compared to the January valuation.

That is a significant shift. Frattesi remains a player with strong market value, but his lack of game time has weakened Inter’s negotiating leverage.

Having followed Forest’s transfer strategy over the last year, they have shown a willingness to invest heavily in players who can improve the first team immediately.

AS Roma remain a major threat in this race. Frattesi’s connection to Roma is strong.

The midfielder came through Roma’s academy and spent years developing within the club’s youth system before establishing himself elsewhere.

Roma are also reportedly considering creative structures, including a possible swap involving Manu Koné — a player Inter have admired for some time.

That kind of structure could appeal to Inter more than a straight sale. For Forest, that creates a clear challenge.

Inter are expected to accelerate discussions over Frattesi’s future once the season ends, with the player himself increasingly open to leaving in search of regular football.

Nottingham Forest remain in the race, but Roma’s sporting project and emotional pull could become decisive — especially if Champions League qualification is secured.

That could shape the entire outcome.
