Davide Frattesi faces another summer of uncertainty at Inter Milan after a season in which the statistics paint a damning picture, 30 appearances, 1084 minutes and zero goals in what Corriere dello Sport describe as a campaign that demands serious reflection.
According to Corriere, via FCInterNews, Frattesi must assess his situation ahead of the summer with his Inter future far from guaranteed.
The season started badly. A hernia operation in the summer created complications in his recovery and disrupted his early momentum under Cristian Chivu.
Indeed, Chivu had expressed confidence in him at the start of the campaign.
In theory, Frattesi was the impact substitute, or even a trequartista option if a formation change materialised. Neither scenario fully played out.
January brought transfer talk but no concrete offers. His agent worked to find him a new club. Nobody arrived with serious intentions, not even a loan with an obligation to buy.
Furthermore, the contrast with last season is stark.
Frattesi delivered decisive contributions in the Champions League against Bayern Munich and Barcelona. This season has produced no such moments.
Therefore, the summer phone will be close at hand again. His agent will search for suitors.
However, with Inter planning a midfield rebuild involving Koné and potentially Ederson, Frattesi’s role in the squad, already minimal, could shrink further still.
A permanent exit now looks the most likely outcome for all parties.
