Gianluca Di Marzio writes that after Monday’s meeting with Sassuolo CEO Giovanni Carnevali, Inter have struck a deal with them and want to close in the next 24/48 hours so as not to lose their advantage.
Despite the strong interest from Milan and the attempt from Napoli, Inter are now ahead in the race for the 23-year-old and feel like they are almost there.
It will be a loan with an obligation to buy for €25m with young striker Samuele Mulattieri – valued at €8m by Inter – going the other way.
Milan met the Sassuolo management today but found that Inter had the advantage and therefore the margins for manoeuvre were limited. Napoli asked for information too, but Frattesi had already expressed his willingness to move to Inter.
Meanwhile, Mulattieri’s agent is now meeting with Sassuolo to define the details of the 22-year-old’s transfer, which is further proof that the deal is close.
