Newcastle United have again turned their attention to Italian midfielder Davide Frattesi, whose transfer fell through last summer. As the player’s situation at Inter only worsened, the English club is ready to make a new attempt to sign him as early as January 2026 — Tuttomercatoweb.

In the current Serie A season, the 26-year-old midfielder spent less than 200 minutes on the field. His last appearance at the start dates back to the beginning of October.

After the departure of Simone Inzaghi, the team was led by Christian Kivu, but Frattesi could not win the trust of the new coach. His path to the base is blocked by Petar Suchic and Piotr Zelinski.

Despite the problems at the club, Frattesi continues to play for the national team, which recently lost to Norway (1-4) and now has to fight for the 2026 World Cup through the playoffs.

Eddie Gow has made no secret that the team needs reinforcements in midfield, especially with injuries to Joe Willock and Lewis Miley.

Although the Magpies signed Jacob Ramsey in the summer, the depth of the squad still leaves a lot to be desired.

“We want to have six midfielders, but now we have four. That’s a problem for us,” Gau said.

Although Frattesi is under contract with the Milan club until 2028, Inter could consider selling the player in order to offload the notoriety.
