Davide Frattesi would've likely waved goodbye to the San Siro had it not been for Simone Inzaghi's departure.
Indeed, forced to live in the shadow of Nicolo Barella, the 25-year-old had considered a summer exit.
However, the managerial shift could offer him a lifeline at Inter.
Furthermore, he's not the only first-team star whose career in Lombardy could get back on track.

In addition to Frattesi, De Vrij seemed destined for a summer departure.
But with Inzaghi out of the picture, the 33-year-old Dutchman could get a more prominent role next term.
Indeed, his return to favor could come at the expense of Francesco Acerbi.

Inter close in on RC Lens midfielder Andy Diouf for €20m deal
By Ravi Kumar Jha Published on August 21, 2025, 19:47 IST Inter Milan are on the verge of securing a major midfield reinforcement, with negotiations for RC Lens star Andy Diouf now in the final stages. According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, the Nerazzurri have reached an advanced agreement with the French club over a deal worth more than €20 million. Talks with the player's representatives are also progressing smoothly, raising hopes that the move will be finalized in the coming hours. The youngs midfielder has been one of RC Lens' standout performers, catching the eye with his energy, composure, and versatility in the center of the park. A product of Rennes' youth system and formerly part of Basel's setup, Diouf has developed into a highly sought-after talent in Ligue 1. His potential arrival at the San Siro reflects Inter's long-term planning, as the Serie A champions aim to refresh their squad with young, dynamic players. For Inter, Diouf's signing would not only add depth but also provide manager Simone Inzaghi with a powerful option capable of adapting to multiple midfield roles. With Marcelo Brozović leaving last year and the squad balancing between experience and youth, Diouf could become a vital part of the team's future core. RC Lens, meanwhile, are set to make a significant profit on the player after nurturing him into a regular starter. While losing Diouf will be a blow, the financial package exceeding €20m offers the French club an opportunity to reinvest.

Chivu Admits ‘I Feel The Burden Of Responsibility' Ahead Of Inter Milan Vs Torino Serie A Opener
Cristian Chivu says that he feels the 'burden of responsibility' ahead of Inter Milan's Serie A opener against Torino. The 44-year-old spoke to Italian broadcaster SportMediaset, via FCInterNews, just a few days before the Nerazzurri kick off their league campaign. He also praised striker Ange-Yoan Bonny. Inter Milan are just a few weeks away from the start of their Serie A season. The Nerazzurri kick off their campaign against Torino on Monday. They host the Granata at the San Siro in their first match of the season. This will be the first Serie A match in charge of Inter for new coach Cristian Chivu. Meanwhile, some new faces who have arrived during the summer transfer window will also have a chance to make their debuts. Inter came agonizingly close to winning the Serie A title last season. However, they lost out by just a single point to Napoli on the final day of the campaign. Therefore, Chivu will have the task of trying to return Inter to the summit of Italian football in his first season at the helm of the club with whom he spent six years as a player. Chivu: 'I Feel Responsibility' Ahead Of Inter Serie A Opener Vs Torino MONZA, ITALY – AUGUST 12: FC Internazionale coach Cristian Chivu looks on before the Pre-season Friendly match between AC Monza and FC Internazionale at U-Power Stadium on August 12, 2025 in Monza, Italy. (Photo by) Inter Milan coach Cristian Chivu said that as far as his feelings about the start of the season, 'I don't talk about my emotions.' 'I'm good at hiding them,' he said, then joked 'and at not having them.' 'Obviously, coaching the team where I've spent a long time and won so much gives me something extra.' 'I'm sure the burden of responsibility I feel here will be able to hide my feelings,' Chivu said. 'We try to maintain the same mentality. The same perception of the importance of being an Inter player.' The coach declared that 'there are expectations, passion, and love.' Meanwhile, Chivu called Inter striker Ange-Yoan Bonny 'a pure young guy.' 'He's someone who wants to improve,' the 44-year-old added. 'He's at a big club, and he's understood that right away by working hard from day one.' Chivu praised Bonny for 'immediately making himself available to the group.' 'Having top players around you allows you to grow quickly,' the Inter coach added.
