Inter are seemingly bracing up for life after Hakan Calhanoglu.
Heavily linked with a transfer to Galatasaray, the 31-year-old could soon end his four-year association with the Nerazzurri.
Therefore, Beppe Marotta is in the market for midfield reinforcements.
Inter Milan & Lazio Contemplate Swap Deal Involving Davide Frattesi & Nicolo Rovella
ROTTERDAM, NETHERLANDS – MARCH 05: Davide Frattesi of FC Internazionale during the UEFA Champions League 2024/25 UEFA Champions League 2024/25 Round of 16 first leg match between Feyenoord and FC Internazionale Milano at De Kuip on March 05, 2025 in Rotterdam, Netherlands. (Photo by)
Nicolo Rovella is Inter's top target to replace the former AC Milan playmaker.
However, his substantial €50 million release clause remains a huge roadblock.
As such, Marotta has come up with a shrewd plan to overcome this obstacle.
Indeed, Inter would offer Davide Frattesi in exchange for the 23-year-old to avoid breaking the bank.

Yet, there's a catch.
Frattesi earns around €2.8m net per season at the San Siro, which is €1m more than Rovella's wages in Rome.
At the very least, Lazio president Claudio Lotito sees this as a fair deal, as he puts Rovella on a par with the ex-Sassuolo star.

Roma continue talks for Bailey, Echeverri and Fabio Silva
Roma remain very active on the market. Giallorossi sporting director Frederic Massara must seek to strengthen the attack as quickly as possible for an increasingly impatient Gasperini. The new name is that of Leon Bailey, who played a key role in Roma's defeat to Aston Villa in the recent friendly. The Jamaican winger is valued at around €30 million and can be adapted to the left. At the same time, La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that Massara has resumed contact with City for Echeverri. The Giallorossi are considering the possibility of bringing him on a dry loan. Finally, there's the possibility of Fabio Silva, who already has an agreement with Roma. The agreement between the Giallorossi and Wolves is still pending.
