CM: Milan ask about €40m Sassuolo midfielder – why Roma have an advantage

AC Milan are one of the clubs who have expressed an interest in signing midfielder Davide Frattesi from Sassuolo, according to a report.

Calciomercato.com recall how Frattesi moved to Sassuolo as part of the operation that brought Lorenzo Pellegrini back to Roma but now he feels ready to make the jump back to a big club in Italy after an impressive season with 4 goals and 3 assists in the league.

He is now part of the national team under head coach Roberto Mancini, and the report mentions that Inter, Milan and Juventus have followed him and have asked for information in recent times, but it is Roma that might hold an advantage.

The Giallorossi can benefit from having a resale clause that was inserted at the time of his move to Reggio Emilia entitling them to 30% of the proceeds of any future resale, which essentially functions as a 30% discount on any transfer fee.

Sassuolo would once again be open to accepting counterparts meanwhile, which Roma may need to use in order to match the €40m valuation, so Milan and their two rivals have slipped behind in the race.
