Agent: ‘I wanted to sell Mancini, but he loves Roma, Frattesi developing situation’

Agent: ‘I wanted to sell Mancini, but he loves Roma, Frattesi developing situation’ Agent Beppe Riso reveals Gianluca Mancini ‘wanted to remain at Roma at all costs’ even turning down more money, while Davide Frattesi ‘has a developing situation’ to consider with Inter. The representative spoke to reporters including FCInter1908 as he left a meeting. It had been reported earlier in the summer that defender Mancini had received proposals, including from within Serie A, but instead he signed a new contract.

Mancini didn’t want to go, he refused everything for Roma, a gesture that he does for the fans. “I told him, you’re crazy, but he’s happy even though he could’ve earned more, so I’m pleased for him too.” TURIN, ITALY – JANUARY 18: Paulo Dybala of AS Roma celebrates a goal with team mate Gianluca Mancini during the Serie A match between Torino FC and AS Roma at Stadio Olimpico di Torino on January 18, 2026 in Turin, Italy.

Every transfer window he seems to be on the verge of a transfer and goes nowhere, so will this summer be any different? “I still need to meet with Inter, and then we’ll know. It is a developing situation, he has some things to consider, but first I need to speak with them.” It has been reported that Juventus could make a proposal to sign Frattesi and keep him in Serie A, while there are also Premier League links with Nottingham Forest. “I won’t talk about these things before speaking with Inter, it wouldn’t be right. Then we will discuss the future,” added Riso. “Frattesi scores big goals and has a big heart, I’ll talk with Inter and then we’ll see.”
