Davide Frattesi may have earned his future at Inter with his recent decisive performances in the Champions League. His goals in key moments of the most important matches have turned the spotlight on a player who, until a few months ago, seemed destined to leave Milan. According to today’s edition of the  Gazzetta dello Sport , the Roman midfielder has changed the perception of himself within the Nerazzurri club thanks to his devastating impact from the bench.

Arriving from Sassuolo two years ago, Frattesi has never managed to establish himself as a regular starter in Simone Inzaghi’s eleven. Despite his unquestionable talent, the 25-year-old has often had to settle for final minutes or sporadic appearances in matches of lesser importance. A situation that has fueled rumors of discontent on the part of the player, who has also reportedly expressed a desire for a change of scenery during the winter transfer window.

In January, in fact, Roma had shown a strong interest in his return, banking on the emotional and historical bond with the club from the capital. Napoli had also moved decisively, identifying Frattesi as the right profile to strengthen the Azzurri midfield in view of a possible summer revolution.

Despite everything, Inter decided to keep him, convinced of his importance in the squad, even if not as a starter. A trust that Frattesi repaid with his performances on the pitch, especially in the second half of the season. In Serie A, he has already demonstrated his value with important goals against Hellas Verona and Udinese, contributing to the Nerazzurri’s Scudetto race. But it is in Europe that his name has truly shone.

In the Champions League quarter-final against Bayern Munich, Frattesi scored a crucial goal, giving his team momentum in one of the most difficult matches of the season. However, it was in the semi-final against Barcelona that the Italian midfielder wrote one of the most important pages of his career: a goal in extra time that sealed Inter’s qualification for the final, unleashing euphoria among the fans and convincing even the most skeptical of his potential.

These goals have highlighted an often underestimated characteristic of the player: the ability to make an impact in the moments that matter. Despite not starting, Frattesi has shown himself to be a lethal weapon from the bench, a “super sub” like few in Europe. His energy, his ability to insert himself and his sense of goal make him a precious element in a competitive squad like the Nerazzurri’s.

And these qualities could convince Inter’s management to focus on him for the future. The club is evaluating whether to secure him with a new contract or listen to possible offers in the summer. But according to sources close to the club, his latest performances in the Champions League have tipped the scales towards confirmation.

For Frattesi, staying at Inter would mean accepting a role that perhaps does not always see him as a protagonist from the first minute, but in which he can be decisive in crucial moments. A challenge of maturity and sacrifice that the player seems ready to face, also in view of the European Championship and the desire to maintain a place in Luciano Spalletti’s national team.

In conclusion, Davide Frattesi’s recent European exploits have not only strengthened Inter’s path to continental glory, but may have rewritten the player’s destiny. From a possible departure to a key player for the future: Frattesi’s story is that of someone who knew how to wait, work and strike at the right time. And now, Inter may have found a new hero for the European nights.
