Juventus missed transfer target Davide Frattesi as midfielder joins Lazio
Summary

Davide Frattesi moved to Lazio during the most recent transfer window after a potential deal with Juventus stalled. The midfielder had expressed interest in joining the Turin club and was reportedly willing to wait for a formal offer, but Juventus failed to progress with an official approach. Luciano Spalletti ultimately shifted the club's attention toward other targets, ending the pursuit. Frattesi has since enjoyed a productive start to the season at Lazio, scoring in each of the club's first three league matches. These performances contributed to a perfect start for the Eagles, who currently sit among the league leaders. Juventus did hold preliminary discussions regarding the transfer, yet the move never reached a formal conclusion.
