Nottingham Forest are exploring a deal to sign midfielder Davide Frattesi from Inter Milan this summer.
Frattesi has been capped 34 times for Italy and has contributed eight goals for country.
He is a two-time Serie A winner with current club Inter, while he was also part of the team that reached the UEFA Champions League final in the 2024/25 season.
Frattesi made 22 league appearances as Inter won the title last season and he has played 122 times for the club since joining from Sassuolo in 2023.
Italian news outlet Linterista have reported Forest's interest and the club are now looking to instigate talks in an attempt to complete a deal.
Forest finished 16th in the Premier League during a turbulent campaign that saw four different managers lead the club.
Vitor Pereira arrived at the club in February and he was successfuly able to lead the club to safety and the semi-finals of the Europa League.
The club are looking to add some quality this summer in a bid to challenge for European football and the potential capture of Frattesi would be an ecellent acquisition.
Frattesi possesses the ability to contribute in both defensive and attacking phases of play, which is something that Forest will be keen to tap into if they lose Elliot Anderson this summer.
He is a creative box-to-box midfielder who can both dictate play and arrive late in the box, while he also remains part of the national team set-up.
Owner Evangelos Marinakis will be demanding a better season next year and securing players of Frattesi's level would help towards that.
