Attributed to original sourceInter are sending Davide Frattesi to Lazio for €15m plus 50 per cent of the future fee, but Luis Henrique is still not entirely convinced by a €30m move to Roma.
The Nerazzurri need to make sales in order to sign reinforcements, specifically Djed Spence from Tottenham Hotspur at €31.5m plus add-ons to reach €35m , and Curtis Jones from Liverpool for over €35m.
Spence is expected in Milan on Thursday, where he can begin the medical and contract signing process.
Inter need to sell Luis Henrique CAGLIARI, ITALY – SEPTEMBER 27: Luis Henrique Tomaz de Lima of Inter warms up ahead before the Serie A match between Cagliari Calcio and FC Internazionale at Stadio Sant’Elia on September 27, 2025 in Cagliari, Italy. (Photo by Enrico Locci/Getty Images) The first step has been taken in emptying the squad, agreeing Frattesi’s loan to Lazio for €1m plus obligation to buy for certain conditions at €14m.
This is only half the €30m asking price, which is because Inter also retain 50 per cent of the future sale fee.
However, their plans to sell Luis Henrique to Roma have hit obstacles, because the two clubs seem ready to shake hands on just under €30m , but the Brazilian is by no means convinced.
Fabrizio Romano on his Italian language YouTube channel notes that the player needs to be talked into the transfer to the Stadio Olimpico, and has some significant salary demands that Roma are not happy with.
Sky Sport Italia suggest that Inter informed Luis Henrique this evening that he is on the transfer market, but it remains to be seen if he’ll be ready to accept the move just a year on from his arrival.

What happened
Inter Milan are seeking €30m to sell Luis Henrique, but the player himself is not enthusiastic about a move to Roma. Roma have shown interest in the Brazilian winger, but his reluctance complicates negotiations. Inter are looking to cash in on the player to generate funds, while Roma may need to convince the player or look elsewhere. The standoff leaves the transfer in limbo, with Inter's valuation potentially exceeding Roma's willingness to pay.
Chance analysis
This transfer saga highlights the tension between selling clubs seeking maximum fees and buying clubs negotiating for value, further complicated by player preference. Luis Henrique's reluctance to join Roma weakens Roma's negotiating position and could push them toward alternative targets. For Inter, a €30m sale would represent significant profit and squad reshaping, but Inter's leverage depends on finding a willing buyer. Prediction systems should monitor whether Roma intensify pursuit or pivot to alternatives, and whether Inter adjust their asking price.
Roma's potential acquisition of Luis Henrique is at risk, potentially weakening their attacking depth plans; Inter retain leverage but face a difficult sale at €30m.
Roma's attacking reinforcement plans may shift away from Luis Henrique due to player reluctance and high asking price, affecting their offensive options.
