CorSera: The reason Inter could beat Milan to the signing of Frattesi

After the fight between Inter and AC Milan for the signature of Marcus Thuram, the same battle appears to be taking shape for Sassuolo midfielder Davide Frattesi.

As has been reported by Corriere della Sera (via Milan News), the Nerazzurri could have the advantage in this battle which would lead to some embarrassment for Milan.

Thuram opted for the Inter move rather than Milan last week, although they have not yet made the signing official. Inter have been trying to sign Frattesi for a long time, whilst Milan have also held an interest.

Now that Sandro Tonali is on his way to Newcastle, the Rossoneri have upped their interest in Frattesi. There is a clear reason why he may choose Inter, though.

He has said in the past that Inter midfielder Nicolo Barella is his role model and the chance of playing with Barella at both club and national team level may be hard for him to turn down.
