Forest agree Frattesi loan framework with Inter
Nottingham Forest have an agreement in place with Inter for midfielder Davide Frattesi. The proposal is a loan with an option to buy worth £34.6m, but the move is not yet guaranteed because it depends on two key factors: Inter finding a replacement and Frattesi’s willingness to give the final green light.
This is the classic late-window domino: Forest can line up the structure, but Inter need to protect their squad balance before letting a midfield option go, and the player’s camp must be satisfied with the sporting project and minutes.
Who is Davide Frattesi?
Frattesi is a dynamic, goal-carrying central midfielder who can operate as a No. 8 with late box runs or as a higher mezzala in a more aggressive setup. He is under contract at Inter until 2028, which is why this deal is being discussed as a structured loan rather than a cut-price exit.
Agency angle: GR Sports Agency’s role in a Premier League move
Frattesi is represented by GR Sports Agency, the Milan-based firm known for handling elite Serie A careers and strategic transfers.
That link is relevant for Forest because GR Sports already has a client at the City Ground: striker Lorenzo Lucca, who recently joined Forest on loan from Napoli. With multiple clients and relationships in play, agencies often help streamline communication, timing, and expectations – especially when a deal is waiting on club-side replacements and player-side approval.
Forest’s agreement gives them a platform, but the final move depends on Inter’s replacement plan and whether Frattesi chooses this Premier League step now. If Inter solve their midfield puzzle and the player says yes, the deal can move quickly to paperwork and a medical.
