Bournemouth are chasing a January loan for Inter midfielder Davide Frattesi. If the 26-year-old secures regular minutes, Bournemouth’s creativity and chance volume could rise — punters might back Bournemouth to score over 1.5 goals or consider markets like Frattesi to record a goal/assist within his first three starts.
Bournemouth plot January loan for Davide Frattesi as Inter deem him surplus
Inter Milan have made Davide Frattesi available after a subdued first half of the season, with manager Cristian Chivu deeming the 26-year-old surplus to requirements. The former Sassuolo midfielder is attracting interest across Europe, and Bournemouth are preparing a loan proposal as they seek mid-season reinforcements.
Why Frattesi is on the move
Frattesi’s output this season has fallen short of expectations, prompting Inter to consider offloading him. A permanent sale looks complicated: Inter’s reported asking price near €40 million has deterred several suitors. That has opened the door for a short-term loan approach, which would allow Bournemouth to bolster their midfield without meeting Inter’s valuation.
Transfer rivals and complications
Juventus reportedly view Frattesi as an upgrade to their central options, but Inter are reluctant to strengthen a domestic rival. Interest from abroad — notably Galatasaray — cooled after the high asking price, giving Bournemouth a clearer path if they pursue a loan. The key obstacles remain Inter’s willingness to agree to loan terms and the player’s appetite for a move to the Premier League mid-season.
What Frattesi would bring to Bournemouth
Technically comfortable and capable of driving forward from midfield, Frattesi could add creativity, progressive passing and late-box arrivals — traits Bournemouth have sometimes lacked. If given consistent minutes, he could lift Bournemouth’s chance-creation metrics and provide more support for the forwards.
Transfer timeline and outlook
Expect negotiations to intensify as the January window progresses. Bournemouth are likely to prioritise a loan with an option or obligation depending on appearances and form. Inter will weigh the benefits of a temporary exit against retaining squad depth for the run-in.
Betting and tactical implications
A Frattesi arrival would alter Bournemouth’s attacking profile: more chances from midfield and improved transition play. Bettors should monitor team sheets and early line-ups; markets to consider include Bournemouth total goals, first-half goals, and player goal/assist lines for Frattesi in his opening fixtures.
