Inter’s youth division has long been capable of consistently developing excellent talents, who then often manage to have high-level careers in Serie A or Serie B. Currently, the top scorer of the Serie B championship is Francesco Pio Esposito, a centre forward born in 2005 who is owned by Inter but loaned to Spezia.
This season, the young Nerazzurri striker has already scored 14 goals in Serie B, significantly increasing the attention surrounding him. Napoli recently made an attempt to secure the 20-year-old talent, but Inter shut the door on the Azzurri to avoid strengthening a direct competitor.
Simone Inzaghi will have the chance to evaluate Esposito’s level at the Club World Cup and during summer preparations. However, in the event that the young player is not deemed ready, another loan experience may be considered. Torino has long been ready to submit an offer for the 2005-born forward who, as reported by Toro News, is particularly admired by Technical Director Vagnati. In any scenario, Inter does not wish to lose control of the player.
