Davide Frattesi is now the subject of interest from Lazio after a move to Nottingham Forest collapsed.
Forest made progress on Frattesi over the weekend, with Inter looking to Curtis Jones of Liverpool as a replacement.
However, Liverpool snubbed Inter’s approach, which led to the Nerazzurri deciding they couldn’t lose Frattesi.

Now, Lazio have tried their luck once again for the Italy international.
Davide Frattesi: Inter not budging as Lazio make fresh bid
Davide Frattesi has struggled for regular starts at Inter this season, and that has sparked interest from elsewhere.
According to Gianluca Di Marzio, Lazio have made another attempt to sign the Italy midfielder in the past few hours.
Di Marzio reports the Biancocelesti have put a total package worth €30m on the table.
The proposal is said to be a loan deal, with a conditional obligation to buy.
However, Inter’s response is unchanged. The club are not prepared to negotiate, having also told Nottingham Forest the same.
Barring any unexpected developments, Frattesi is not expected to leave in January.

Who Lazio could target amid Frattesi deadlock
Davide Frattesi isn’t the only midfielder Lazio are working on.
Lazio like Tromso’s 20-year-old midfielder Lasse Dahl, who is valued at around €10m, according to Roma Today.
They are also monitoring Almeria’s Serbian midfielder Nikola Dzodic (born 2005), who is rated at roughly €15m.
Elsewhere in Spain, Racing Santander’s Gustavo Puerta is reportedly of interest to Lazio.
Everton midfielder Tim Iroegbunam remains on the Biancocelesti shortlist too.
Matteo Guendouzi’s Lazio exit in January has left the club looking for further reinforcements before the transfer deadline.
