Inter target Niccolò Pisilli as Frattesi replacement amid Roma sales

Inter Milan have added 2004‑born Roma midfielder Niccolò Pisilli to their transfer shortlist as a potential replacement for Davide Frattesi, with the Giallorossi under pressure to meet the UEFA deadline of 30 June. Inter are also monitoring other midfield options as Roma scramble to sell players before the deadline.

Roma are expected to be very active in the upcoming transfer window, with the club needing to offload players to satisfy UEFA’s 30 June deadline. Even their most valuable assets are reported to be at risk of departure.

Niccolò Pisilli, the 2004‑born midfielder from Roma’s Trigoria academy, is drawing interest from multiple clubs. Inter have signalled a keen interest in signing him, Inter’s broader squad rejuvenation plan includes replacing right‑back Denzel Dumfries with Marco Palestra. The Nerazzurri also anticipate possible changes in midfield as part of the overhaul.

Davide Frattesi is reported to be on the verge of leaving Roma, with Inter awaiting an offer from Nottingham Forest to finalise the midfielder’s move. The pending deal would free Inter to pursue a replacement.

Should the Frattesi transfer materialise, Inter intend to approach Roma for Pisilli, noting that the club’s interest is not directed at Manu Koné but at the younger midfielder. Pisilli is effectively positioned as the second‑choice target.

Cristian Chivu’s primary target for midfield reinforcement is Curtis Jones, although the potential arrival of Andoni Iraola could alter Liverpool’s hierarchy. Chivu values Pisilli highly, yet Gian Piero Gasperini is said to be unwilling to part with his midfielder.

Inter’s addition of Pisilli to their shortlist underscores the club’s strategy to refresh its midfield while Roma confronts the pressure of meeting the UEFA deadline.
