Manchester United and Atletico Madrid are both planning to reshape their midfield this summer.
With each team looking for new energy in the middle of the park, they have identified one player who could fit perfectly into their systems.
The English club wants more movement and technical skill in the centre.
Their rebuild continues under Ruben Amorim, and the focus is now on finding a midfielder.
On the other hand, Atletico are also on the lookout.
Diego Simeone hopes to bring more attacking runs and tactical flexibility to his midfield group.
The target has already shown he can perform at the top level.
He impressed in the national team and played regularly in domestic and European matches.
But with the change of manager at his current club, the speculation about him moving on is just getting started.
According to a Spanish Outlet, Davide Frattesi is the midfielder wanted by both Manchester United and Atletico Madrid.
The 25-year-old Italian has just finished his second year at Inter Milan.
While he scored key goals and helped the team in big moments, he was mostly used off the bench.
Now, with Cristian Chivu taking over as manager, there are no clear signs that Frattesi will be a regular starter.
He has already told his agents to look at options abroad. Inter are open to offers above €35 million, which both United and Atletico are willing to consider.
Napoli have shown some interest too, but the main fight is between England and Spain.
Davide Frattesi’s decision could come soon. He wants to play regularly and grow in a project that values his skills.
With both Manchester United and Atletico Madrid ready to move fast, the next few weeks could decide where this Italian talent lands.
