Inter is ready to secure Pio Esposito with a new contract until 2031 and a substantial salary adjustment, which will bring the striker’s wages to almost 3 million net. The club’s decision comes after the outstanding performance offered by the striker in the first matchday of the league against Monza, when Cristian Chivu chose Pio Esposito to pair with Lautaro, with Marcus Thuram still recovering.
Esposito repaid the trust with a finely executed backheel goal, kicking off the season in the best possible way. The player showed up at Appiano in excellent condition after the holidays, even though in pre-season he had shown some difficulties due to a powerful physique that requires more time to reach optimal form.
According to Corriere della Sera, the renewal represents the recognition of a new status for the striker, who is called upon to confirm himself both in Europe with Inter and with the National Team. Last November, before the defeat against Norway at San Siro in the last match of the World Cup qualifying group, Haaland had candidly admitted that he did not know him when he was asked for an opinion about his Italian colleague.
The road to joining the club of the greats remains long, but Pio Esposito has shown he has all the qualities to continue growing.
