Inter and Roma Agree Loan Deal for Luis Henrique Amid Transfer Activity
Multiple reports indicate that Roma has reached an agreement to acquire Luis Henrique on loan with a potential obligation to buy for a total of €30 million. Additionally, Inter Milan is reportedly close to finalizing a similar arrangement with Lazio for player Davide Frattesi.
The Nerazzurri are preparing to sell several players who do not fit into coach Cristian Chivu’s plans. Moving these players will help generate the necessary funds to secure Curtis Jones from Liverpool for €40 million and Djed Spence from Tottenham Hotspur for €30 million plus performance-related add-ons.
Inter Nears Agreements with Roma and Lazio
According to Sky Sport Italia, the agreement between Inter and Roma for Luis Henrique is structured to total €30 million, including performance-based bonuses. This arrangement involves a loan with an option to buy that transitions to an obligation if specific conditions are met throughout the season.
Roma is currently awaiting the Brazilian’s confirmation and his agreement on personal terms. The 24-year-old joined the Italian league last year from Olympique Marseille for €22.8 million, during which he made 46 competitive appearances, scoring one goal and providing three assists.
In parallel, Sport Mediaset and Sky Sport Italia report that Inter is in advanced discussions to send Frattesi to Lazio. Like the Henrique deal, this arrangement would also be a loan with an option that becomes an obligation, contingent upon team performance and player appearances. Furthermore, Inter would retain a percentage of any future sale proceeds.
Multiple reports suggest Roma have agreed a loan with potential obligation to buy Luis Henrique for a total €30m, while Inter are also close to a similar move with Lazio and Davide Frattesi.

It would be a loan with option to buy that becomes an obligation if certain conditions are met throughout the season.
They are now waiting for the Brazilian to give the all-clear and agree personal terms with Roma too.
The 24-year-old only came to Italy a year ago from Olympique Marseille at €22.8m plus add-ons, making 46 competitive appearances with one goal and three assists.
Meanwhile, Sport Mediaset and Sky Sport Italia also claim that Inter are in advanced talks to send Frattesi to Lazio.

The Nerazzurri can also retain a cut of the future sale fee.
