The mother of Sassuolo midfielder Davide Frattesi has opened the door to a return to Roma.

Frattesi came through the youth system at Roma.

And Mum Sonia told Il Corriere dello Sport: "I still know nothing about it. I read that he has already said yes [to Roma], but right now, he is with the national team, so he can't be distracted.

“I'd be delighted if he returns, both for him and me. He cares so much about it and I have two more young sons and life would be easier for me.

“Surely, I hope there will be updates soon.

“It would be a great satisfaction for him to wear the Giallorossi shirt again. He has always had the desire to return where he grew up. Davide understood that Roma isn't an easy place. In Modena, it's all different, there are fewer distractions, but he knows what he wants.

“He has proved to be a great professional. Roma have recently won a trophy and it would be a dream for him to play for the club again."
