At the end of the winter transfer window, the Italian was close to a move to the Midlands.
it was covered extensively sports witnessNottingham Forest failed as Inter could not land Curtis Jones as a replacement.
After all this, nothing has really changed for the midfielder. He has started only once since the end of January, only coming off the bench in the last three matches in Serie A.
With his chances of being called up to the Italian national team looking difficult, Nottingham Forest may have another chance at the player. Newcastle United could also be back in the fray for him.

Inter stance can help English clubs
interest David Fratesi reports he is looking for a club where he can play more often. Nottingham Forest were seen as that opportunity and interest remained in a summer stay.
Newcastle United are also back in the race, having tried to sign him in 2025. They approached him late - as covered sports witnessBut the Nerazzurri rejected the offer.
Now, both clubs could battle it out for the former Sassuolo player, who would also be willing to stay in England.
AS Roma are keen to bring him back but Inter's stance could be crucial in this situation. They are not interested in swap deals or initial loans for Fratesi, which are likely to benefit Newcastle United and Nottingham Forest.
Only Roma's Mile Swiller would tempt him in a swap but he is too important for the Giallorossi right now.
Agent connection could help Forest and Magpies
At the moment, Davide Fratessi is represented by Giuseppe Risso and also represents Sandro Tonali and Lorenzo Lucca.
This could make it easier for Nottingham Forest or Newcastle United to land the player. It has been established that Riso has a good working relationship with both clubs.
Additionally, Fratesse provides unique value to its teams. He is not a technical midfielder who dictates the pace of the game. The 26-year-old is adept at finding opportunities in the box and loves to score - as evidenced by his impressive record for Italy.
He could be a very reliable option in attack for the two English clubs, with the player also desperate to leave Inter.
