Davide Frattesi, a star player for Sassuolo, is also on the radar of Tottenham, West Ham, and Manchester United, according to reports.
After a stellar run of form for Sassuolo, the 23-year-old Italy international is regarded as one of the best midfielders in Serie A. After receiving a number of loans from other teams, he has taken his time to establish himself at the Serie A team. He had an excellent debut season his last time out, scoring four goals and providing three assists. He is now a regular for Alessio Dionisi's team.
In addition, he has two goals in eight games this season, with Sassuolo firmly rooted in the middle of the table.
Sassuolo rewarded him for that performance with a new contract that keeps him with the club until 2026.
However, they are aware that interest in him is growing, as a number of major clubs monitor his services.
In fact, Inter Milan is said to be planning a January bid for Frattesi. However, Antonio Conte and Fabio Paratici are said to be keen admirers at Tottenham and are also reportedly on his trail.
His signing is also being considered by West Ham. In addition, Roberto De Zerbi, Brighton's new manager, is said to be interested in seeing his former player again.
It's understandable that Sassuolo want to make sure they can keep their star player.
However, according to Il Gazzetta dello Sport, they may be tempted to accept an offer in the range of £26.3 million (€30 million).
Additionally, according to the Italian newspaper, Erik ten Hag wants to bring Fratessi to Old Trafford.
During Sassuolo's 5-0 victory over Salernitana last week, the United manager reportedly sent scouts to observe him in action.
Interest in Davide Fratessi's performance for Sassuolo is growing. Fratessi has also earned four caps for Roberto Mancini's Italian National team.
Even though the Azzurri have yet to score, Fratessi has impressed with his all-action performances. Indeed, he will likely continue to be a fixture for many years to come thanks to his energy and focus on goal.
Indeed, during the early stages of his time at Tottenham, his style of play was compared to that of Dele Alli.
According to Gianluca Di Marzio, an Italian newspaper, Jose Mourinho is also interested in bringing the midfielder back to Roma.
Fratessi began his playing career with the Italian giants, but he was allowed to leave without playing a significant role. However, they keep a sell-on clause in place for Fratessi, allowing them to sign him for less money.
Paulo Dybala and Tammy Abraham have already been signed by Mourinho in recent window sales.
Given the number of clubs that are pursuing Fratessi, his capture would also be viewed as a significant victory.
However, if Ten Hag's team continued with a firm proposal, they would be unable to compete with United.
This summer, the Red Devils spent well over £200 million, but Ten Hag will receive additional funds during the January window.
In addition, despite Casemiro's acquisition, he continues to want to improve his midfield. Despite the fact that Fratessi may be considered a more cost-effective option, Ten Hag is still said to be interested in Frenkie de Jong.
