Inter market, Juventus market, there is talk of a loan swap between national teams

Manuel Locatelli and Davide Frattesi could swap jerseys, at least temporarily. Launching the indiscretion is Paolo Bargiggia: according to the soccer market expert journalist, Juventus and Inter are considering a loan swap between the two midfielders, both former Sassuolo but above all both in the tour of Rino Gattuso’s national team.

A negotiation that, although still at an embryonic stage, would be based on concrete assumptions. Locatelli, class ’98, would be ‘traded’ for Frattesi, a year younger, closed by a Nerazzurri midfield already well defined and with clear hierarchies: the situation that had crystallized with Simone Inzaghi has not undergone great changes with the advent of Cristian Chivu on the Beneamata bench.

The economic conditions of the deal are still in the embryonic phase.

The economic conditions of the operation appear balanced. Locatelli was acquired in 2021 for 36 million plus 1 bonus; Frattesi arrived two years later for 31 million plus 3 bonus, with an additional 10 percent earmarked for Sassuolo on future resale.

The deal’s financial terms are balanced.

At the contractual level, the two players are bound to their respective clubs until 2028. Salaries are also not that far apart: 3.3 million net per season for the Bianconero, 2.8 for the Nerazzurri.
