Is Frattesi leaving Inter? Riso: "I was the one who wanted him to leave. I’ll give it some thought again in the summer"

Although Riso himself has stated that Frattesi finds it hard to leave Inter – and vice versa – the agent has made no secret of the fact that he might try again this summer to secure a move for the player: “I always give it some thought, because I like seeing him on the pitch. I like seeing everyone on the pitch, but with him in particular, I’d like to see him play a season with consistency.”

Riso also shared some interesting tidbits about Lazio president Lotito: "Dealing with Lotito is fun, but it’s never been easy. In some respects, he’s a genius at negotiations. But I’m sorry that Lazio’s stadium isn’t always full, partly because, from what Rovella, Maldini and Cataldi have told me, the Biancocelesti shirt really gets under your skin. Let me tell you a story: last year, Cataldi chose to join Fiorentina and when we finalised the deal via video call, he was a broken man. He suffers for Lazio; the blood running through his veins is blue and white.”

Then Riso’s message to football’s governing bodies: “Our sector is poorly protected, in the sense that our voice is rarely heard at the decision-making tables. We are part of a system and therefore cannot be part of it only intermittently. It is essential that those at the top involve us more; the lack of protection often pushes agents – especially the ‘smaller’ ones – not always to act in the players’ best interests, but to focus on making money just to survive."
