The newspaper reports that these are 'decisive days' for David Fratesi's future. The Italian midfielder is set to leave Inter Milan this summer after a season in which he played less than he would have liked.
He ended the season with a disappointing number of 22 appearances in Serie A, but played only 16% of the available minutes. Worse, he failed to score or register an assist. This was a 'real rarity' for a player who has built his career on his attacking ability.
This has not discouraged Nottingham Forest, who have been keen on his signature For a while. They see him as a potential replacement for Anderson, who is expected to leave on a big-money move this summer.
Indeed, their interest is driving up Inter Milan's asking price. They see this as validation of Fratesi's market value. They want at least €30m. How Nottingham Forest feel about that price has not been made clear.
juventus interest
The big problem for Vitor Pereira's team is Juventus. Thanks to manager Lucian Spalletti he is now in the mix for a midfielder.
He is well aware of the 26-year-old's talent and that his path could be difficult this summer. He wanted him as a signing in the January transfer window and the arrival of Giovanni Carnevali as sporting director has made the move 'even more likely'.
However, Inter are unlikely to be able to match the €30m demands or want to do so. This could benefit Nottingham Forest. This will be especially the case if they receive more than the expected €100 million for Elliot Anderson.
Either way, the belief in Italy is that this week could be decisive. Fratessi is leaving Inter Milan, but it remains to be seen where he will end up.
