Davide Frattesi is the new name that is emerging strongly on the agenda of Atlético de Madrid to strengthen the midfield in this winter transfer market. The red and white club is seeking solutions after Conor Gallagher's departure and the impossibility of closing other priority deals.

For weeks, Atlético de Madrid worked on the option of Leon Goretzka, but the German's continuity at Bayern Munich has forced a change of plans. This decision has triggered more complex alternatives with increased competition.

Davide Frattesi, Plan B gaining traction

According to 'Calciomercato', Davide Frattesi's profile fits what Diego Simeone is looking for. A midfielder with drive, goal-scoring ability, and the capacity to maintain the competitive pace demanded by the Argentine coach.

The Italian belongs to Inter Milan, where he arrived in the summer of 2023 from Sassuolo. Since then, he has accumulated quality minutes, important titles, and a consistency that has aroused interest outside of Italy.

The approach from Atlético de Madrid is a loan with a purchase option. However, this structure has not completely convinced Inter Milan, who are also affected by injuries to key midfielders.

Inter Milan hesitates, and Forest emerges

Muscle injuries to Calhanoglu and Barella have forced Inter Milan to be extremely cautious. In this context, Davide Frattesi remains a valuable asset within Cristian Chivu's rotation.

Furthermore, Nottingham Forest has entered the race aggressively. The English club is also considering the Italian's signing and could present a more financially appealing proposal. Forest has already shown ambition in this market and is not ruling out direct competition with Atlético de Madrid, significantly complicating the red and white team's aspirations.

Direct competition following Leon Goretzka's rejection

The definitive rejection of the Leon Goretzka option has left Atlético de Madrid with no margin for error. Davide Frattesi is liked, but the operation is neither simple nor quick. With a contract until 2028 and a manageable salary, the Italian represents a safe bet. However, English interest could tilt the balance in the coming days.

The outcome will depend on the final stance of Inter Milan and how far Atlético de Madrid is willing to go to beat Forest to Davide Frattesi.
