De Rossi needs a midfielder capable of turning the action around. The Frattesi track can only come back alive in the event of a break-up with Inter
The key word is “box to box”, which in football jargon identifies a midfielder capable of making a contribution to the team both in the defensive and offensive phases, therefore from one area (box) to another. From box to box. de Rossi he put it on his 5 wish list for the summer as Mourinho did last year. Now, however, the need has become almost vital for a department that is too monorhythmic, especially for the DDR game. The only one that could belong to that category is Ox. However, it is not fully convincing enough to be put on the market. The coach sees him more as a central midfielder in the future, and this is not helpful in a squad that already has that role Cristante and Paredes.
From Thuram dreams to Frattesi to Koné reality
—
Two names circled in red: Thuram of Nice and Frattesi. Two difficult objectives, although not impossible. There is advanced competition from Juve on the Frenchman even if the relationship with Ghisolfi could have an influence while the Italian would like to stay at Inter (who however are not so convinced). As mentioned, these are the first names on the A list. The dream list. Roma will try but the absence of the Champions League weighs heavily on the convincing process. The Frenchman, son of Lilian, is one of the stars of transalpine football and would like to challenge his brother Marcus on equal terms. So even in the top competition where Juve plays, and not Roma. The blue, however, would have come running to Rome two years ago. And perhaps even in the first months of 2023. Now he waits to climb the hierarchies at Inter where Mkhitaryan seems to have found Cocoon’s pool. The Nerazzurri club, however, is forced to make sacrifices on the transfer market. And he will have to choose between Frattesi, Calhanoglu or the many young people (including Carboni) around Italy. In the event of an opening, De Rossi would also rush in thanks to the good relationship with Frattesi. Let’s get back down to earth. The candidacy of rises Konè, Canadian del Watford also sought by West Ham and Marseille. Born in 2002, it can fetch 12 million and has those box to box characteristics we were talking about above. A profile followed for some time by Ghisolfi, who will also be observed by De Rossi in these days in the Copa America where he has already faced Paredes’ Argentina. An affordable cost for a player on the launch pad.
