Frattesi’s Lazio medical booked for Friday Italy international Frattesi is set to join Lazio on an initial season-long loan deal at a cost of €1m with an obligation to buy set at €14m. This €15m package is roughly half of the €30m fee that Inter had been seeking for Frattesi, which is why the Nerazzurri will keep hold of a 50% sell-on clause.
According to the latest updates from Sky Sport Italia , the 26-year-old will have his medical with the Biancocelesti on Friday.
Frattesi has made a total of 122 appearances across all competitions for Inter over the last three seasons following his move to San Siro from Sassuolo. He has netted 15 goals in that time, 11 of which have come in Serie A.
Frattesi, born and raised in the Italian capital, had spent several years on Lazio’s books as a child before moving over to the Roma academy in 2014.

What happened
Lazio are finalising the capture of midfielder Davide Frattesi from Inter Milan, with a medical booked ahead of a €15m transfer. Frattesi, who has struggled for game time at Inter since joining from Sassuolo, is set to return to Rome where he previously played on loan. The move gives Lazio a quality addition in midfield while Inter recoup funds for a player outside their first-choice plans.
Chance analysis
Frattesi is a technically gifted central midfielder with proven Serie A output, but his playing time at Inter has been limited due to tactical fit. A move to Lazio could revive his career and provide creativity and goals from midfield for Marco Baroni's side. For Inter, this represents a reasonable return on a player not central to Inzaghi's system, freeing wage space for other targets.
Lazio gain a quality midfield addition ahead of the new season; Inter lose a squad player not central to their first-choice XI, with minimal tactical disruption.
Frattesi's arrival strengthens Lazio's midfield depth and creative output for upcoming Serie A matches, while Inter lose a squad option.
