Napoli eye Frattesi amid Saudi interest in Anguissa

Napoli are considering a move for Inter Milan midfielder Davide Frattesi (h/t Corriere dello Sport).

The Serie A champions may be forced to act quickly in the transfer market due to growing uncertainty around one of their key players.

The club could lose Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa, who is being strongly pursued by Saudi Pro League outfit Al-Qadsiah.

The Cameroonian midfielder is a vital part of Napoli’s set-up, and they are reluctant to let him leave.

However, Napoli are preparing for all possible outcomes. They have now begun exploring other options to strengthen their midfield, and Frattesi is on their radar.

Frattesi is seen as a strong back-up option

Frattesi has become a key player in Simone Inzaghi’s squad at Inter.

He does not always start, but his contributions have been valuable. The 25-year-old has a habit of coming off the bench to make a difference.

He scored crucial goals in big matches against Bayern Munich and Barcelona in the Champions League. These key moments have raised his profile and highlighted his importance to the squad.

Despite this, Frattesi was reportedly open to leaving Inter during the winter transfer window. He remained at the club, but talks about his future have continued.

Any final decision about his future will only be taken after the Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain.

The Italian international has bagged seven goals and two assists in all competitions this season. Transfermarkt value him at €32 million.

Napoli are planning several moves as they prepare for changes across the squad. They are also closing in on a high-profile transfer for Manchester City’s Kevin De Bruyne.
