Galatasaray “serious” on Frattesi as Inter weigh €35m proposal
Galatasaray are pushing to sign Davide Frattesi from Inter, with Gianluca Di Marzio reporting the Turkish champions are ready to invest up to €35m to land the midfielder. The proposed structure is a loan with an obligation to buy, a key detail because Inter prefer certainty rather than conditions that may or may not be triggered later.
The agency behind the move – GR Sports and Giuseppe Riso
Frattesi is represented by GR Sports, a Milan-based agency founded by Giuseppe Riso and known for managing elite Serie A careers and strategic transfer planning. The firm positions itself around long-term career management rather than just deal execution.
The agency also represents Sandro Tonali, Gianluca Mancini and many more Serie A players.
Why the formula suits Inter
The reporting stresses Inter’s preference for a straight obligation mechanism, effectively treating it as a guaranteed sale in accounting terms. It would also give Inter a significant fee to potentially reinvest.
Frattesi stance – the door is not closed
One of the key lines in the report is that Frattesi has not ruled out the Galatasaray destination, with updates expected quickly as talks develop.
Frattesi is a 26-year-old Italy international midfielder currently under contract with Inter until 30.06.2028. He is typically deployed as a high-energy central midfielder with timing into the box, and has been used by Inter across multiple competition contexts as both a starter and an impact option.
This remains a developing transfer story, but the next steps are clear: Inter and Galatasaray aligning on the exact structure and guarantees of the obligation to buy.
If Galatasaray truly put the full €35m package on the table with a clean obligation mechanism, this could move from “interest” to real negotiation fast.
