Pio Esposito has had a sensational rise
Esposito has risen through the ranks at Inter Milan. While promoted to the first team in 2023, the 20-year-old eventually ended up joining Spezia Calcio on a two-year loan deal. Thanks to his impressive performances for Serie B, he has played an important role for Inter Milan this time.
He was involved in 35 matches in the current campaign, accounting for more than 1,500 minutesand contributed to it 13 goals (7 goals, 6 assists). His impressive performances have helped him break into the Italian national team, and this has also attracted the interest of clubs from all over Europe.
Arsenal is one of the clubs that would like to have his signature. The Gunners are constantly looking for young players with huge potential, and Esposito seems to be an ideal fit for their project. The Gunners are trying to bring him to the Emirates, but they are unlikely to succeed.
Inter Milan does not want to sell Esposito
The 20-year-old’s contract with Inter Milan runs until 2030, meaning they will be in the driver’s seat during negotiations and have no intention of selling him. The Italian team will not even consider an offer of €100 million for the youngster.
They view him as an integral part of their long-term plans and want to build a team around him. Inter Milan seem to have a lot of confidence in the youngster and his performances this season certainly support this. As far as Arsenal are concerned, they will have to look at alternatives as Esposito is not for sale.
