If he’s mad about game time imagine how an actual good player like Zielinski feels watching Inzaghi push mikhi to death.

Zielinski hasnt shown much in the pitch. Needs to do way better to take Mkhi's spot, and he's not even same type of player.

But then again, can't make changes just for the sake of it, there has to be a necessity, whether it's for the good of team or rotation purposes. Unfortunately, Mkhi is still way ahead of Zielinski and Frattesi in pecking order.

Don't have one.
Really doubt someone in italy is ready to pay that, that's an english premier league level price tag. Hopefully someone bites the bait this month though coz it would be interesting to see what we do with that type of money.

I doubt we're getting that amount of money for Frattesi, unless he gets his shit together and performs great for the rest of the season. That way, he attracts clubs abroad, but also there's a likely scenario that Inter wins Scudetto again, so his impact could make a difference in this matter.

Corriere dello Sport and Il Mattino newspaper report that Napoli have joined the race to sign Italy international Frattesi from Inter.
Chelsea don't want to sell Casadei for less than 15M, so this might be one of the reasons.

According to Il Mattino, Napoli are considering a loan deal with an obligation to buy to be paid across two financial years.
Fine with me as long as the total amount is €45M.

Fratessi is not better than McTominay or Anguissa so he would be a rotational player there as well.

Cant imagine Napoli paying 45m for a sub. They probably only want him if they can get him for less than 30m.

With that kind of money, the club can bring in a winning mentality player, not a whiner. I doubt this will happen during winter though.

Frattesi upset by Inzaghi’s indifference as Inter open to midfielder’s exit

Inter midfielder Davide Frattesi decided to talk straight to Simone Inzaghi about his frustration over the lack of playing time but was reportedly left upset by his coach’s indifference.

Unlike in the past, when he often proved a decisive substitute, the Italy international seemed rather demotivated when he came on in the final minutes of his side’s Supercoppa Italiana final against Milan as he feels the status of midfield backup doesn’t reflect his worth.

According to Calciomercato.com, such behaviour was a consequence of a previous chat the 25-year-old had with Inzaghi, as he decided to share his disappointment for his limited opportunities on the pitch with the Nerazzurri’s manager.

However, Frattesi was far from pleased after speaking with the former Lazio boss, as the midfielder felt he was no longer in his coach’s plans, with the Italian tactician looking indifferent about the prospect of his player’s potential departure.
That's not how you gain trust of your coach. That's not how you're expected to react at a top club like Inter.

This tells me everything needed about his mentality. He will never be world class with this kind of approach.

Feels like his indifference costed Inter the SuperCoppa. Better sell while his price is still high.

The recency bias on that one has been crazy. He's been both a bit of out form and injured this season and Bisseck, to his credit, has stepped up admirably to minimize the effects of Pavard's absence, but Pavard was one of those signings that put us over the top last season. Like, unless I'm mistaken, the plan would've been Darmian as the main RCB last season otherwise and, in fairness to Darmian, there's no comparison here, Pavard brought life and balance to our right side.

To put him - and even Frattesi for that matter - in the same class as Correa is extremely unfair.

Pavard arrived with a much higher reputation than either Correa or Frattesi and not only is 30m euros a lot for Inter to pay these days, it's an absolute fortune for a player entering the last year of his contract. It was the most expensive deal done in Serie A in the summer of 2023.

He came as a player who did not see himself as a full back and did not like playing as a traditional central defender, so playing in a RCB role with a licence to push forward and offer on the right what Bastoni does on the left looked ideal for him and for the team. We assumed we were getting a transformative player who could hold his own playing in any League.

And I'm not saying that he was bad last year at all, he wasn't, he was fine, but he was hardly essential despite costing us what our genuinely essential players cost us. And it's normal for a player to take a season to adapt to a new team, a new country etc. etc. But this season was the one he should have pushed on and reached what we expected he would. It hasn't happened. Sure, he's been injured but he missed 6 weeks last season too, but his form before the injury was really poor.

His injury has given Bisseck more playing time and the German is improving all the time. Most metrics suggest that Bisseck is contributing more - he's high up for duels on the ground and in the air and he's more of an attacking threat too. All for a quarter of the fee and a quarter of the salary.

I'm glad Pavard is just about back and hope that he has a strong rest of season, but underwhelming relative to cost is absolutely the word I would use to describe his Inter career thus far.

Anyway, we are lucky with both Pavard and Bisseck, as we have two quality players for the same spot.
This is not the case with Frattesi. Because of his skill set he doesn't fit well in our system, and when he comes in, the quality of our game visible decreases. If he doesn't score, it seems that we are playing with one man down. And, I'm saying that as his admirer and a fan who wanted him here.
Now, I'm reading that Napoli's offer is 40mln which can make Inter to sell him in the winter

Frattesi is a very niche player but not our niche. I unironically hope he finds his place besides the NT and at the same time at least brings us a return of investment.
As much as I am impressed by how clinical he can be I am just as fucking dumbstruck as how horrendous his off the ball and teamplay can be.
